The vernacular Greek Revival house dates from the late 1840s; the barn is probably late 19th century.","why_significant":"The property is significant under Criterion A as a representative of Bath Township's early settlement period and its rural agricultural economic base from settlement through the early 20th century. The house keeps its Greek Revival form and shows Colonial Revival updates made around 1918-1919. The barn is one of the largest and best preserved along Cleveland-Massillon Road.","narrative":"Set along Cleveland-Massillon Road in Ghent, this 2.66-acre property in Bath Township, Summit County, includes a story-and-a-half house built in the late 1840s and a large barn. The house is a vernacular Greek Revival building of braced frame construction with wood siding. Around 1918 its owners gave it a Colonial Revival update, adding dormers, a new pilastered entrance, a south wing and a second-floor bathroom. A rear addition from the 1990s now serves the design firm that uses the house as offices. The Sweitzer forebay barn, probably from the late 19th century, has a central cupola, round-arched louvered openings and heavy timber framing, and it appears nearly unchanged from early photographs. The property was listed for its link to the township's early settlement and to the farming economy that sustained it through about 1920. The changes made over time show how successful farm families updated modest early homes while keeping their original character.","period_of_significance":"1840s-1920","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"19th C - Greek Revival; 20th C - Colonial Revival","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"The house was converted to offices in the 1990s, with a rear addition built at that time; the barn is used for storage.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:06.933456-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/10000977.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/10000977/2eb244ac5a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/10000977/2eb244ac5a-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JEREMIAH_LAMBERT_HOUSE_AND_BARN,_GHENT,_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:JEREMIAH_LAMBERT_HOUSE_AND_BARN,_GHENT,_SUMMIT_COUNTY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986330","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138715256"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/summit-county/lambert-jeremiah-house-and-barn-10000977/"}
