It is also tied to continuous ownership by the Kelly family across five generations and to the commercial career of John Kelly, a Dayton baker and grocer.","narrative":"Built in 1876 at 657 South Main Street in Dayton, this two-story brick house is a High Victorian Italianate home typical of a late nineteenth-century middle-class shop keeper. Contractor Andrew Kinninger built it for his son-in-law John Kelly, a Maryland-born man who came to Dayton in 1865 and worked as a plasterer, clerk, baker and later grocer. Exterior features include a high limestone foundation, stilted and segmental arched windows with stone hood molds, a bracketed wood cornice, and a polygonal bay on the south wing. A brick kitchen wing was added in 1880, and a major renovation in 1890 set the interior's final character. Inside, Victorian oak trim, ornamental lattice work between the parlors, a gray marble mantel, a golden oak front parlor and a paneled stairway survive. The house has stayed with the Kelly family for five generations, and its careful preservation is the main reason it was recognized.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (specific date 1876)","architect_builder":"Andrew Kinninger, contractor","architectural_style":"High Victorian Italianate","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition listed as excellent; altered, on original site; in use as a private residence, with restoration work ongoing.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:10.313471-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/75001501.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75001501/c9c7726cde-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75001501/c9c7726cde-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Photo by Greg Hume (Greg5030)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:KellyFamilyHome.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo by Greg Hume (Greg5030)</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:KellyFamilyHome.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71990468","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Family_Home","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6386022"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/montgomery-county/kelly-family-home-75001501/"}
