Fort Gaddis (original) (raw)
Fort Gaddis is the oldest known building in Fayette County, Pennsylvania and the second oldest log cabin in Western Pennsylvania. It is located 300 yards (270 m) east of old U.S. Route 119, near the Route 857 intersection in South Union Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania (east of Hopwood and south of Uniontown). Fort Gaddis was built about 1769-74 by Colonel Thomas Gaddis who was in charge of the defense of the region, and his home was probably designated as a site for community meetings and shelter in times of emergency, hence the term "Fort Gaddis," probably a 19th-century appellation. It is a 1 1/2-story, 1-room log structure measuring 26 feet long and 20 feet wide.

| dbo:abstract | Fort Gaddis is the oldest known building in Fayette County, Pennsylvania and the second oldest log cabin in Western Pennsylvania. It is located 300 yards (270 m) east of old U.S. Route 119, near the Route 857 intersection in South Union Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania (east of Hopwood and south of Uniontown). Fort Gaddis was built about 1769-74 by Colonel Thomas Gaddis who was in charge of the defense of the region, and his home was probably designated as a site for community meetings and shelter in times of emergency, hence the term "Fort Gaddis," probably a 19th-century appellation. It is a 1 1/2-story, 1-room log structure measuring 26 feet long and 20 feet wide. During the Whiskey Rebellion a Liberty Pole was erected at the house during a rally in support of the rebel cause. The choice of this site for a political demonstration indicates its importance as a focal point for community expression. The fact that all the additions to the building were removed in the early twentieth century in respect for the section contemporary with the American Revolution and Whiskey Rebellion is evidence of the building's longstanding and continuing status and power as a community symbol. Fort Gaddis was built near the Catawba Trail, an important north-south route that extended from New York to Tennessee and passed through Uniontown, Pennsylvania and Morgantown, West Virginia. In the 19th century the trail became locally known as the Morgantown Road. It is now Old U.S. Route 119. About 2 miles north on this road is Uniontown, the Fayette County, Pennsylvania seat, settled in the late 1760s and founded in July 1776 as Beeson's Mill. History fans and researchers should be aware that, depending on which sources are consulted, Fort Gaddis can also be known as the "Thomas Gaddis Homestead", the "Thomas Gaddis House" or "Gaddis' Fort". It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 as the Thomas Gaddis Homestead. (en) Forte Gaddis (em inglês: Fort Gaddis) é o edifício mais antigo conhecido no Condado de Fayette, Pensilvânia, e a segunda cabana de madeira mais antiga do oeste da Pensilvânia. Ele está localizado a 300 jardas (270 m) a leste da antiga US Route 119, perto do cruzamento da Route 857 em South Union Township, Condado de Fayette, Pensilvânia (leste de Hopwood e sul de Uniontown). Fort Gaddis foi construído por volta de 1769-74 pelo coronel Thomas Gaddis que estava encarregado da defesa da região, e sua casa provavelmente foi designada como local de reuniões comunitárias e abrigo em tempos de emergência, daí o termo "Fort Gaddis", provavelmente uma denominação do século XIX. É uma estrutura de troncos de 1 1/2 andares e 1 cômodo, medindo 26 pés de comprimento e 20 pés de largura. Durante a Rebelião do Uísque, um Pólo da Liberdade foi erguido na casa durante uma manifestação em apoio à causa rebelde. A escolha deste local para uma manifestação política indica sua importância como ponto focal de expressão comunitária. O fato de que todas as adições ao edifício foram removidas no início do século XX em respeito à seção contemporânea com a Revolução Americana e a Rebelião do Whiskey é evidência do status e poder de longa data e contínuo do edifício como símbolo da comunidade. Fort Gaddis foi construído perto da Catawba Trail, uma importante rota norte-sul que se estendia de Nova York ao Tennessee e passava por Uniontown, Pensilvânia e Morgantown, West Virginia. No século XIX, a trilha tornou-se conhecida localmente como Morgantown Road. Agora é a Old US Route 119. Cerca de 2 milhas ao norte nesta estrada é Uniontown, a sede do Condado de Fayette, Pensilvânia, estabelecida no final da década de 1760 e fundada em julho de 1776 como Beeson's Mill. Os fãs de história e pesquisadores devem estar cientes de que, dependendo de quais fontes são consultadas, Fort Gaddis também pode ser conhecido como "Thomas Gaddis Homestead", "Thomas Gaddis House" ou "Gaddis' Fort". Foi adicionado ao National Register of Historic Places em 1974 como Thomas Gaddis Homestead. (pt) |
