The house was probably built in 1825.","why_significant":"The house is a relatively unchanged survival of an early pre-Victorian building style found in the river counties of southwestern Ohio. Its finely carved mantel and molded brick cornice suggest a master builder. The house, barn and outbuildings together form a cohesive group of 19th-century farm buildings that retain their original fabric.","narrative":"Set on a hilltop above Rangle Run and surrounded by tobacco fields and woodland, this one-story brick farmhouse near Ripley in Brown County, Ohio, dates to about 1825. Its walls are common bond brick 15 inches thick, with a Flemish bond front, a rubble foundation and a gabled roof. Unusual details include a sloping brick water table and molded brick courses under the roofline, recalling earlier seaboard colonial styles. The four-room interior keeps its original woodwork, including a finely detailed mantel. A 19th-century peg-construction barn and small frame outbuildings stand nearby. Tax records show the house on an 88-acre tract owned by Abraham Burgett, whose father Valentine received the land for Revolutionary War service. The property was listed as a little-altered example of an early building type in the river counties of southwestern Ohio, and as a cohesive group of farm buildings with original character.","period_of_significance":"1825","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early pre-Victorian vernacular brick building","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as a summer house with basic maintenance needed; the form lists the property as occupied and unoccupied, with work in progress.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.084567-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/78002013.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986865","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/brown-county/burgett-house-and-barn-78002013/"}
