The house was built for David Smith, a local lumber mill co-owner.","why_significant":"The house is significant under Criterion C as a vernacular example of the Queen Anne style, which the multiple property documentation identifies as representing the railroad era and its prosperity in Clinton. Its decorative woodwork, including gable braces, saw-tooth lintels and carved doors, may reflect Smith's lumber milling business. The buildings retain a high degree of integrity.","narrative":"This Queen Anne house at 7966 Cleveland-Massillon Road in Clinton, Ohio, was built in 1894 for David Smith, who co-owned a lumber mill with his brother William. It is a wood-framed, gabled-ell house of two stories, with a one-and-a-half-story west wing that was originally a summer kitchen. Details include narrow weatherboard siding, wood-shingled gables with decorative braces, window surrounds with saw-tooth lintels and quatrefoil corner blocks, and carved door panels. The nomination suggests the woodwork may have advertised the Smith Brothers' milling business. A post-and-beam barn from the same year also contributes to the property, while a c. 1960 Quonset hut does not. The house was listed for architecture because it shows how the Queen Anne style reflected the prosperity that railroads brought to Clinton. Members of the Smith family owned it through most of the twentieth century, and it remains a single-family home with its original siding and massing largely intact.","period_of_significance":"1894","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne (Gabled-Ell)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Currently a single-family dwelling; the form describes its historic integrity as well preserved.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:07.556915-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/02001104.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02001104/e903a7c31b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02001104/e903a7c31b-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DAVID_SMITH_HOUSE,_CLINTON,_SUMMIT_COUNTY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jerrye &amp;amp; Roy Klotz, MD</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DAVID_SMITH_HOUSE,_CLINTON,_SUMMIT_COUNTY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986240","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138714781"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/summit-county/smith-david-house-02001104/"}
