It was also the home of Peck Griswold, who ran one of Maumee's most complete general stores. Later it was the residence of John N. Richards, a prominent Toledo-area architect, who restored it in the 1940s.","narrative":"Set on a small city lot at 228 East Broadway in Maumee, this one-story house dates to about 1840 and follows a nearly square plan under a capped hip roof with a center chimney. Its stone foundation carries hand-hewn beams, and the four-bay front has a Greek-style doorway with sidelights. The entablature and pilasters at the entrance were added in 1941-43, and a wide porch seen in the early 1900s has since been removed. Inside, a center hall leads to a large living room and a dining area with a small fireplace, while a narrow stair rises to a single large upper room supported by hand-adzed posts. The house was listed as an uncommon variation of Greek Revival design in Northwest Ohio. It was the home of Peck Griswold, who operated one of Maumee's most complete general stores, and later of Toledo architect John N. Richards, who restored it in the 1940s. A local tradition suggests Jonathan Goldsmith may have built it, but this is unconfirmed.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"Possibly built by Jonathan Goldsmith, though the form says this is unsubstantiated","architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as well maintained and occupied as a private residence; restored in the 1940s.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:10.400683-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/78002121.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/78002121/5c26caedc8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/78002121/5c26caedc8-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Peck_Griswold_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Peck_Griswold_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71989915","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138536441"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/lucas-county/griswold-peck-house-78002121/"}
