Kimball was the first housebuilder in Madison Township and is linked to many Western Reserve buildings in Lake County.","narrative":"Built in 1825 at 390 West Main Street in Madison, Ohio, this woodframe house was the work of Addison Kimball, the first housebuilder in Madison Township. The original block is rectangular, clapboard-sided, and rests on a fieldstone foundation. It looks like a story and a half from outside but has two full stories within. The symmetrical south facade has a central doorway with a transom, framed by Doric pilasters and a simple entablature. A large addition at the rear is set into a sloping ridge, leaving a basement exposed on the north side. The interior has been altered, including a changed stairway and moved partitions. Kimball, whose father came from New Hampshire in 1812, is linked to many Western Reserve buildings in Lake County, such as the first frame schoolhouse in Madison and railroad stations. This is the only house definitely attributed to him, and the Kimball family owned it until fairly recently.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (specific date 1825)","architect_builder":"Addison Kimball","architectural_style":"Federal vernacular","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in excellent condition, altered, on its original site; the form notes preservation work in progress and a later survey records its use as a museum open by appointment.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:09.818817-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/75001449.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75001449/6276f4e235-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75001449/6276f4e235-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"LeeG7144","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:390_W_Main_St.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">LeeG7144</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:390_W_Main_St.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985590","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addison_Kimball_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4681263"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/lake-county/kimball-addison-house-75001449/"}
