It is significant for its excellent proportions and two-story portico, and it reflects the prosperity of an industrious nineteenth century village. It is one of few structures that convey the village's early prosperity, and it is also noted for the private preservation effort that rescued it from decay after 1972.","narrative":"Standing at a crossroads in New Baltimore, this two-story frame hotel was built in the Greek Revival style, probably no earlier than 1840. Its long side faces the road, and the gabled ends carry a two-story portico on four tall posts, with a second-floor gallery beneath. The main doorway has sidelights and an entablature, the windows keep their original six-over-six sash, and the interior retains its central stairhall and a large second-floor parlor or dance hall. The village was laid out in 1831 and by 1846 supported a hattery, foundry, tanneries and other trades, which made so large a hotel possible. Its fortunes declined after 1900, when railroads bypassed it. The inn is one of the few buildings that still conveys that earlier prosperity. Since 1972 a private preservation effort has reinforced the structure, rebuilt a decayed south wing as a reproduction, and prepared the building for use as a community center.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Under restoration since 1972; the reconstructed south wing is built on a concrete block basement, and the restored building is to be used as a community center.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:10.017839-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/75001535.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75001535/2e476ee6b6-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75001535/2e476ee6b6-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Sanfranman59","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:New_Baltimore_Inn_(New_Baltimore,_OH).JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Sanfranman59</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:New_Baltimore_Inn_(New_Baltimore,_OH).JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71991390","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138686070"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/stark-county/new-baltimore-inn-75001535/"}
