It is also tied to William Resor, who founded Cincinnati's first stove factory in 1819, helped found the Zoo and helped establish the Cincinnati Art Museum.","narrative":"Built in 1843 by William Resor, this three-story frame house in Cincinnati's Clifton area has a slate mansard roof with metal cresting and dormer windows on the third story. The square front portion is wrapped by a verandah with Doric wood columns. A domed gazebo with cast iron columns was added at the southeast corner after the house was moved in the 1890s. Entrances on either side of the front have slightly arched doors with crescent fanlights, and long front windows reach the verandah floor. Inside, the carved woodwork is noted for its detail and condition. The house originally faced Clifton Avenue but was turned and moved, and it now faces Greendale Avenue, a name taken from the original estate. Resor, a descendant of Cincinnati's first mayor, Isaac G. Burnet, made his fortune from the city's first stove factory, founded in 1819. He later helped found the Zoo and joined the group that established the Cincinnati Art Museum.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (specific dates 1843 and 1890's)","architect_builder":"William Resor","architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in fair condition, altered and moved, used as a two-family residence in recent years, and being restored by new owners.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:10.053672-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/73001466.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73001466/2cc61f37d8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73001466/2cc61f37d8-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":null,"credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ResorHouse.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Unknown author</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ResorHouse.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"78002074","name":"Clifton Avenue Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/ohio/clifton-avenue-historic-district-78002074/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71989011","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Resor_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8017487"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/resor-william-house-73001466/"}
