It was built for James Hood, a dry goods merchant and mayor of Perrysburg from 1857-58, during the town's period of prosperity. The house is isolated from the Perrysburg Historic District by non-conforming buildings, so it is nominated separately.","narrative":"This two-story frame house at 202 West Fifth Street in Perrysburg, Ohio, is a Greek Revival residence dating to 1857. Its rectangular plan places the three-bay gable end toward the street, and a recessed entrance at the northwest corner is flanked by Doric pilasters beneath a full entablature. The low-pitched roof has a single interior chimney, a simple pediment window and broad fascia returning at the gable ends. The foundation is dressed stone, and a one-story gabled addition with a shed-roofed porch sits at the rear. Inside, front and rear parlors lie to the left of the hall, with the dining room and kitchen behind. James Hood, who ran a successful dry goods store on Front Street and served as mayor in 1857-58, had the home built during Perrysburg's most prosperous years, before cholera, the loss of the county seat and the canal's terminus near Toledo ended its commercial prominence. It is recognized chiefly for its architecture.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (specific date 1857)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in good condition, altered, on its original site, and used as a private residence; repairs were begun by owners who bought it in 1973.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:09.340153-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/74001652.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/74001652/66d5629203-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/74001652/66d5629203-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hood-Simmons_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hood-Simmons_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71992018","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138773713"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/wood-county/hood-simmons-house-74001652/"}
