Renner, Jr.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it one of the most elaborate residences in Youngstown and an excellent example of the Georgian Revival type. It was built by the proprietor of the city's largest brewery and symbolizes the cultural aspirations of a wealthy manufacturer at the turn of the century. It is described as basically conservative, since the style peaked about a decade earlier.","narrative":"Built in 1907 at 277 Park Avenue in Youngstown, Ohio, this large red brick mansion is an academic example of Georgian Revival design. A monumental two-story portico with double Ionic columns spans the north facade, and the steep tiled roofs, stone lintels with keystones, quoined corners, semi-circular east bay and western porte-cochere add to its elaborate character. Inside, a center hall holds a marble stairway rising to a landing with a large stained-glass window. George J. Renner, Jr., born in 1856, proprietor of the City Brewery, built the house. His father had come to the United States in 1848 and run breweries in several Ohio cities. Renner started a business in Wooster in 1880 and founded the Youngstown brewery four years later. The 1890 plant, the city's largest, employed sixty people in 1907. The house reflects the ambitions of a prosperous manufacturer in an iron and steel city, though its plan keeps some late Victorian features. The living rooms have since been divided into apartments.","period_of_significance":"1907","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"The living rooms have been divided into a number of small apartments; the form marks the property as occupied and in private ownership.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:10.399629-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/76001483.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76001483/a93c94eeae-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76001483/a93c94eeae-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:George_Renner_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:George_Renner_House.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"90000601","name":"Wick Park Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/ohio/wick-park-historic-district-90000601/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71990070","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_J._Renner_Jr._House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5541016"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/mahoning-county/renner-george-j-jr-house-76001483/"}
