Williams.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it a superb example of High Victorian Gothic style. It is also tied to Judge Henry H. Williams, a noted lawyer, prosecuting attorney and common pleas judge, and to Dr. Charles A. Hartley, a prominent eclectic medicine practitioner and county health commissioner who later owned it.","narrative":"This High Victorian Gothic cottage at 16 South Cherry Street in Troy, Ohio, rests on a stone foundation and has a three-bay weatherboard facade. One-story polygonal bays flank an open porch with scroll-saw detailing, wall dormers rise above, and a small pointed turret sits over the center bay. The steep gable roof and turret are covered in patterned slate, and bracketed box cornices mark the eaves. A rear wing links to a two-story carriage house. Research suggests part of the house was built around 1870 by Emiline Stewart, but its present form dates largely from 1883-84, when it was remade for Judge Henry H. Williams, a lawyer, prosecuting attorney and common pleas judge who presided at a notable 1880 murder trial. Dr. Charles A. Hartley, an eclectic medicine practitioner and later county health commissioner, bought it in 1892 and used the north wing as his office. The house was listed for its architectural quality and its local associations.","period_of_significance":"c1870; major renovation 1884","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"High Victorian Gothic Revival with Eastlake elements","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as altered, with numerous additions, and threatened by neglect and the value of its urban commercial site.
