Charles Young House is a historic residence at 1120 U.S. 42 in Wilberforce, Greene County, Ohio, listed in 1974 and designated a National Historic Landmark. The document supplied here is an additional-documentation package that clarifies its boundary.","why_significant":"The text does not set out the reasons for significance. It identifies the house as the property of Col. Charles Young, who bought the farm in 1907 and owned it until his death in 1922. The 2007 submission only clarifies the boundary around the house and yard, which it calls the social core of the property.","narrative":"This house at 1120 U.S. 42 in Wilberforce, Greene County, Ohio, is associated with Col. Charles Young. In September 1907 he bought two tracts of land, one with the house (38.88 acres) and one adjoining it (40.26 acres), forming a 79.14-acre farm. He owned it until his death in 1922, and it stayed in the Young family until the late twentieth century. When the house was listed in 1974 and designated a National Historic Landmark, his granddaughter and her husband owned it. The listed area is a four-acre parcel. It was described in the original nomination as about four acres, apparently an arbitrary figure meant to include the house and surrounding yard while leaving out other farmland. In 2007 the Ohio Historic Preservation Office clarified the boundary as a square of about 417 feet per side, with its southeast edge at the centerline of U.S. Highway 42. The document does not describe the house's architecture or give a detailed statement of significance.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:10.090898-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/74001506.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/74001506/9ff0ae1942-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/74001506/9ff0ae1942-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Colonel_Charles_Young_House,_front_and_western_side.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Colonel_Charles_Young_House,_front_and_western_side.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71988764","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Young_Buffalo_Soldiers_National_Monument","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5148107"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/greene-county/young-col-charles-house-74001506/"}
