It has a cruciform plan and an inscribed entrance lintel.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is primarily architecturally significant as a well-preserved small Greek Revival brick dwelling. Its cruciform plan is fairly unusual for the locality, and its inscribed lintel reading \"Temple of Freedom\" is described as very rare. The simple detail, blind-end wings and good preservation give it a distinction among Greek Revival examples.","narrative":"Built in 1853 on Wallings Road in what is now Broadview Heights, this two-story brick house was the home of Jared Clark, who came to Ohio from Massachusetts in 1830 and farmed in northern Brecksville Township. Its Greek Revival design features a gable end facing the road and flanking wings that form a cruciform plan, which is fairly unusual for the area. Openings have plain stone lintels, and the foundation sandstone is finely dressed on the front and sides. The entrance lintel is inscribed \"Temple of Freedom,\" with Clark's name and the date, a rare feature. The meaning of the words is undocumented, and stories linking the house to the underground railroad are unproven. Inside, the stairhall keeps its original walnut balustrade, along with many original four-paneled doors and hardware. The house was listed for its architecture: a well-preserved, simply detailed example of the Greek Revival period with distinctive blind-end wings.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (specific date 1853)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in excellent condition, altered, on its original site, and occupied as a private residence, with preservation work in progress.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:10.102999-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/75001357.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75001357/f4c8c5972c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75001357/f4c8c5972c-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jared_Clark_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jared_Clark_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71987399","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137642061"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/cuyahoga-county/clark-jared-house-75001357/"}
