It is also a double pile, central passage house built by local masons and carpenters from local stone, site-fired brick and native wood. Its details show a transition from Greek Revival to Italianate styling.","narrative":"Built in 1860 on Dublin-Granville Road in New Albany, Ohio, this two-story brick farmhouse measures about 36 by 28 feet and sits on a sandstone and limestone foundation under a slate side-gabled roof. Its plan is double pile with a central passage, and the details blend late Greek Revival forms with Italianate touches such as eave brackets. Inside, walnut trim, wide simple moldings, plain wooden mantels and a cherry newel post mark the work of local craftsmen. Masons named Schott and carpenters named Beecher built it, using local stone, brick that may have been fired on site, and native wood. The house stood on a 73-acre farm and mill property that the Ealy family began in 1830, and it is one of a handful of historic buildings left from old New Albany and Plain Township. It was listed for its link to the area's pioneer settlement and the Ealy family, and for its architecture and craftsmanship.","period_of_significance":"1860-1895","architect_builder":"Schott, John Andrew; Schott, John Charles; Beecher, John J; Beecher, William","architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century; double pile, central passage plan with Greek Revival and Italianate elements","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Owned by a local historical society; current function listed as work in progress, with recent tuck-pointing and restoration of altered kitchen elements.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:07.490561-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/08000626.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000626/9cb54da53b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000626/9cb54da53b-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:George_and_Christina_Ealy_House,_front_from_east.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:George_and_Christina_Ealy_House,_front_from_east.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71988501","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_and_Christina_Ealy_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q104871749"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/franklin-county/ealy-george-and-christina-house-08000626/"}
