Dunlap and now used by the Troy Club.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it the best preserved and possibly the finest example of Second Empire architecture in Troy. Its first three owners, Dunlap, James H. Young and George W. Scott, were prominent Troy businessmen and civic figures. Dunlap's nursery business reflected one of the town's major nineteenth-century industries.","narrative":"Built around 1875 at 16 East Franklin Street in Troy, Ohio, this two-story Second Empire house has a square main block with a smaller rear wing, polygonal side bays and a patterned slate mansard roof. The three-bay facade has a segmental main entrance with a bracketed Victorian frontispiece, and arched dormers with pilasters and pediments. The foundation is rock-faced stone, and the interior retains heavy moulded Victorian trim in a high state of preservation. A classic revival drive-through porch at the rear appears to be a later addition. The nomination describes the house as the best preserved and possibly the finest Second Empire building in Troy. Its first owner, William K. Dunlap, was a horticulturist whose fruit tree business sent salesmen across the Eastern states. Later owners James H. Young and George W. Scott were prominent in railroads, banking, manufacturing and civic improvement. The house stands near the commercial district and now serves as a club building.","period_of_significance":"c. 1875","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Second Empire","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied; described as in good condition and unaltered, and used by the Troy Club and a halfway house project.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:10.00552-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/76001492.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76001492/0863d73fb0-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76001492/0863d73fb0-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:William_K._Dunlap_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:William_K._Dunlap_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71990285","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138589557"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/miami-county/dunlap-william-k-house-76001492/"}
