Its proportions, frieze, entrance and fine interior woodwork indicate accomplished craftsmen, and it was likely one of the finest houses in the area when built. It is also tied to Frederick Agler, a prominent early settler of Mifflin Township.","narrative":"Built around 1824 in Mifflin Township, this two-story brick house on Sunbury Road reflects rural Federal design. It rests on a stone foundation under a gable roof, with a symmetrical five-bay facade laid in Flemish bond. Details include jack arches over the windows, a central six-panel door beneath a semi-elliptical fanlight, and a frieze decorated with triglyphs and rosettes. Inside, swags, rosettes, fans and fluting adorn the door and window trim and mantels, which are made of cherry, walnut and butternut. Frederick Agler, who moved to the Alum Creek area in 1806 and became the township's first Justice of the Peace in 1811, is believed to have had the house under construction when he died in 1824. It remained in the Agler family until recently. After several years of neglect, a new buyer intended to restore it. Its restrained design and quality craftsmanship made it among the finest houses in the area when built.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"Frederick Agler (builder)","architectural_style":"Federal","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied private residence at the time of nomination; it had suffered neglect in recent years and was recently purchased by someone intending to restore it.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:11.967997-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/78002062.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/78002062/c6851a86ed-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/78002062/c6851a86ed-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Wdzinc","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Agler-La_Follette_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Wdzinc</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Agler-La_Follette_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71988332","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agler%E2%80%93La_Follette_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4692876"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/franklin-county/agler-la-follette-house-78002062/"}
