Its refined blend of Greek Revival and early Italianate features, its largely intact original interiors, and its sympathetic ca. 1880 addition add to its importance. The form recommends significance at the national level.","narrative":"Built in 1850-1851 on Dayton Street in Cincinnati's West End, this residence was designed by architect Isaiah Rogers, whose diary records its design through at least five basic schemes and its construction. The center-passage brick house has a smooth sandstone facade with two full-height curved bays flanking a small domed entrance feature, and an octagonal cupola crowns the low hipped roof. Its style falls between late Greek Revival and early Italianate. Around 1880 a stone porte-cochere and a rear block with a grand skylit staircase in High Victorian Eclectic style were added, tentatively attributed to the third owner, Erasmus Gest. The original main block remains almost unchanged, with woodwork, mantels, doors and ornamental plaster largely intact despite late 20th-century conversion to apartments. The house sits on a street nicknamed Millionaire's Row and is described as vacant and awaiting restoration. Its architect, its quality of design and its preserved interiors form the basis of its listing.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Isaiah Rogers (architect); ca. 1880 addition tentatively attributed to Erasmus Gest","architectural_style":"Mid-Nineteenth Century: Greek Revival (with Italianate tendencies and High Victorian Eclectic addition)","criteria":[],"status_note":"In fair condition and described as presently vacant, awaiting restoration; it was converted to apartments in the late 20th century.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:07.187929-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/08000583.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000583/ede5f84045-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000583/ede5f84045-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Jack E.
