Walnut Street in Bucyrus is a Victorian home with a Second Empire profile. The original block is nearly square and topped with a dormered mansard roof. Paired brackets support the eaves, and the three-bay front faces west. The main entrance has a tall round-arched doorway with a half-round transom and double doors, sheltered by a small flat-roofed porch on square wooden columns. Inside, a curved walnut stair with a coffin niche rises from the entrance hall, and the front parlor keeps its original wood-burning fireplace. Later changes include an early two-story rear addition, a garden room added in 1968, and a master bedroom suite built in 1952. The house was sold to Wm. Rowse in 1874 and later belonged to H. A. Paxton. It was listed as a good, well-restored example of early Victorian architecture in Bucyrus.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (1870)","architect_builder":"Levi Crim (builder)","architectural_style":"Victorian, Second Empire","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied private residence in fair condition and altered; the original portion is described as well restored.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:09.863132-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/75001349.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75001349/c90d0de09a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75001349/c90d0de09a-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:McGraw_House_in_Bucyrus.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:McGraw_House_in_Bucyrus.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"85000401","name":"Bucyrus Commercial Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/ohio/bucyrus-commercial-historic-district-85000401/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71987305","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137626056"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/crawford-county/mcgraw-house-75001349/"}
