Tuttle and later used as a funeral home.","why_significant":"It is one of few Knox County examples of the temple form of Greek Revival architecture. It was built for S.S. Tuttle, a wealthy early settler and entrepreneur. In the 1890s it was home to Rose Owen Huddle, described as Ohio's only female embalmer for many years.","narrative":"Built about 1840 at 33 East College Street in Fredericktown, this frame house follows the temple form of Greek Revival design. A two-story pedimented portico with four reeded columns fronts a two-story center block, flanked by one-story wings and a later one-story rear addition. Inside, a winding staircase retains its original banister. It was built for S.S. Tuttle, a Virginia-born settler who founded the town's first bank and also owned a foundry, gristmill and a window and door manufacturing business. In 1893 A.C. and Rose Owen Huddle bought the property. He ran a furniture and casket business, while she operated an undertaking business from the home. Rose Huddle helped found the Ohio State Embalmers Association and was for many years the state's only female embalmer. The Snyder family acquired the house in the 1950s and continues to run a funeral home there. Aluminum siding was added in 1973 to all but the facade.","period_of_significance":"ca 1840","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival (temple form)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Altered with aluminum siding in 1973 on all but the facade; in use as a funeral home with living quarters in a rear addition; condition listed as good.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:09.681318-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/76001458.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76001458/769c7281b8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76001458/769c7281b8-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tuttle_House,_Fredericktown.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tuttle_House,_Fredericktown.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985580","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuttle_House_(Fredericktown,_Ohio)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q127602620"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/knox-county/tuttle-house-76001458/"}
