Its proportions and ornamental detail are unusually refined for a village location like West Andover. The builder is little known, but Henderson, a tailor who later called himself a joiner and carpenter, may have built it himself.","narrative":"This Greek Revival frame house in West Andover, Ashtabula County, Ohio, dates to about 1850. Its second story is smaller than the first and rises above a hipped roof, with a second-story gallery forming a double portico. Pilasters with recessed convex fluted panels and square Doric capitals articulate the walls. The recessed porch columns combine Doric capitals with Ionic bases, and a frieze of triglyphs, mutules and guttae runs beneath the cornice. A one-story wing to the east gives the house a T-shaped plan. Horizontal drop siding was added decades after the Civil War but does not harm the character of the design. The earliest documented owner was John Henderson, born in New York in 1805, who worked as a tailor, then a joiner and carpenter, and probably built the house himself. The nomination describes it as a masterpiece of Greek Revival design in northeastern Ohio, notable for its sophistication in a small village.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1850","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as in excellent condition and occupied as a private residence; the drop siding added later is described as not adversely affecting its character.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:10.482513-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/76001368.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76001368/daa5e0500c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76001368/daa5e0500c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Alfredtwo","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_Henderson_home_01.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Alfredtwo</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:John_Henderson_home_01.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986645","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137599344"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/ashtabula-county/henderson-john-house-76001368/"}
