It is also described as an unusual example of nineteenth-century architecture that reflects alterations by later owners.","narrative":"Twin Oaks is a two-and-a-half-story stone house at 629 Liddle Lane in Wyoming, Ohio, built in 1854 by Robert Reily and his wife Isabella Gano Reily. Its random coursed trimmed stone walls, wood trim, irregular roofline, ornate cast iron porch, and gables with turned wood arch braces and carved infill reflect changes made after original construction. Inside are a large entrance hall with an elaborate wood stair, marble and slate fireplaces, and carved plaster ceilings. Reily, a Cincinnati dry goods merchant, hosted the 1861 meeting of the area's ten families at which the village name Wyoming was chosen, and he became its first mayor. He then helped organize the 75th Ohio Volunteers and was killed at Chancellorsville in 1863. Later owners included tin and copper merchant George D. Winchell and banker Elisha Pinckney Stout, a founder of Denver. The house is valued both for its link to Wyoming's founder and for its layered architecture.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (specific date 1854)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition listed as excellent and altered, on its original site; used as a private residence and occupied at the time of nomination.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:09.106753-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/75001438.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75001438/2b062711ed-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75001438/2b062711ed-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Twin_Oaks,_Robert_Reily_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Twin_Oaks,_Robert_Reily_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71989121","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_Oaks_(Wyoming,_Ohio)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7858246"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/twin-oaks-75001438/"}
