Description
Booklet "The De Turk House of Oley," by Phoebe Bertolet Hopkins; reprinted from the Historical Review of Berks County, Spring 1966.
Printed cover plus 5 printed pages, with 3 photo illustrations.
Describing it as the ancestral home of the DeTurk family in America, the author notes its crumbling condition, and the efforts underway to preserve and restore it. The DeTurk House Council was created to bridge the gap between private and institutional control of the historic property.
DeTurk genealogy and the history of the buildings composing the DeTurk family farmstead occupy the bulk of the rest of the booklet's textual matter.
