Market Street on the south side of the village square in Loudonville, Ashland County, Ohio, built ca. 1852 by T.J. Bull.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house meets Criterion A for its link to Loudonville's early settlement and growth, through the Bull family and T.J. Bull's role in the village's development. It meets Criterion C as a vernacular interpretation of the distyle in antis Greek Revival form. It is described as the last building from the mid-19th century remaining on the square and as a rare example of its type in Ohio.","narrative":"Built about 1852 by attorney and businessman T.J. Bull, this small brick house faces the public square in Loudonville, Ohio. It is a 1½-story building with a gable front, three bays and a recessed central porch framed by square pilasters and columns in antis, with a wide wooden entablature and cornice returns. These features give a simplified Greek Revival temple front. Bull lived there from 1852 to 1862, and his widow Sarah stayed until 1893. The house is the only mid-nineteenth-century building left on the square. Its significance rests on its tie to the village's early settlement and growth, and on its rare vernacular version of the distyle in antis design, built in brick rather than the frame typical of Greek Revival buildings in northern Ohio. Changes include early twentieth-century Craftsman details, a ca. 1986 rehabilitation that stripped paint from the brick, and a ca. 1987 garage addition linked by a hyphen. Original timber framing, center-hall stair and trim survive inside.","period_of_significance":"Ca. 1852 - 1893","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century/Greek Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single-family dwelling; rehabilitated ca. 1986 and given a rear garage addition ca. 1987.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:07.621005-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/07000302.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07000302/a157abf23e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07000302/a157abf23e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Chris Light (talk)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:TJ_%26_Sarah_Bull_Hse_P9020202.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Chris Light (talk)</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:TJ_%26_Sarah_Bull_Hse_P9020202.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986641","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137593810"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/ashland-county/bull-t-j-and-sarah-house-07000302/"}
