With the mid-century farm buildings, it illustrates rural life at that time and is the only remainder of the once rural area of Harrison. It was also the home of Hugh Campbell, a prominent contractor and builder of sewers, railroads and bridges.","narrative":"Phoenix Park is a farm complex at the end of Weathervane Road near Harrison, Ohio, centered on a brick Italianate Villa built around 1858-60 by Hugh Campbell. The T-shaped house has a stone foundation, a four-story tower with a mansard roof and wrought-iron railing, slate roofs, and a flat-roofed porch with carved railings and pillars. Its exterior is unaltered, and the interior keeps original marble fireplaces and many gas light fixtures. The property also includes an L-shaped brick carriage house with a cupola, a stone-based water tower, stables and a gambrel-roofed frame barn. Campbell, born in County Tyrone, Ireland, became a contractor who built railroads, bridges and many Cincinnati sewers. His farm once covered 400 acres, where he bred Jersey and Shorthorn cattle, sheep and hogs. The six-acre remainder is surrounded by modern development and is the last trace of Harrison's earlier rural landscape. It was recognized as an excellent example of mid-century villa architecture and rural life.","period_of_significance":"c. 1858-60","architect_builder":"Hugh Campbell","architectural_style":"Italianate Villa (with Second Empire elements)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as occupied and used as a private residence; the house exterior is described as unaltered.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:08.934235-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/76001448.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76001448/daafb2e8ee-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76001448/daafb2e8ee-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hugh_Campbell_Barn.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hugh_Campbell_Barn.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71988919","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Campbell_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5930253"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/campbell-hugh-house-76001448/"}
