Duncan.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an early and unusually faithful example of the Mediterranean Revival style in Bexley, and a showcase of the versatility of the Columbus firm Miller & Reeves. It also represents the large estate lifestyle of prominent Columbus businessmen in early 20th-century Bexley. It was the home of Judge Robert P. Duncan of the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas.","narrative":"Set far back on a wooded lot of about 1.6 acres beside Alum Creek in Bexley, this 1919-1920 residence was designed by the Columbus firm Miller & Reeves for Judge Robert P. Duncan. The two-story stucco house follows a modified H plan and has a low hip roof of red Spanish-style tile, arched first-floor openings, carved stone and wrought iron details, a rear loggia and a partly enclosed patio. Inside, original woodwork, barrel-vaulted hallways and stone fireplaces survive. Duncan, a Columbus native, served as county prosecutor and then as Common Pleas judge for 25 years, and he and his wife lived here for the rest of their lives. The nomination notes that the Mediterranean Revival style was still new in 1919 and rare in Ohio, and that few Bexley houses show it as strongly. After years of neglect, the house and gardens were rehabilitated in 1982, with the original plan and design character maintained.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"Miller & Reeves, Architects","architectural_style":"Mediterranean Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Occupied as a private residence. Poorly maintained and deteriorating when bought in December 1981, it was completely rehabilitated in 1982, with its original design and interior plan largely retained.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.558596-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/09000094.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/09000094/90585ce0e7-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/09000094/90585ce0e7-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Skorry","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Robert_P._Duncan_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Skorry</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:Robert_P._Duncan_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71988366","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137803740"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/franklin-county/duncan-robert-p-house-09000094/"}
