Doan, a Civil War officer and Clinton County Common Pleas judge from 1875 to 1893. It is also the last house in Wilmington before the rural zone begins. Its Federal proportions with Italianate additions, notably a full-facade porch and a rounded dormer, set it apart from other houses in the community.","narrative":"Located at 822 Fife Avenue in Wilmington, Ohio, this two-story clapboard house was built in 1840 by James Wilson, the first superintendent of the Clinton County Infirmary. It has Federal proportions with Italianate detailing, including a five-bay arcaded front porch on columns and pedestals, a bracketed cornice, and a semicircular dormer with an ornamental pediment and finial. The dormer distinguishes it from other houses in the community. The house was stuccoed in the early 1920s, and a rear kitchen wing was removed in 1940. Its best-known occupant was Azariah W. Doan, who bought it in 1869. Doan raised a company of Ohio volunteers in 1861, served through the Civil War, and rose to colonel and brevet brigadier general. He later served in the Ohio State Senate and as Common Pleas judge from 1875 to 1893. The house also marks the edge of Wilmington's city limits, where the rural zone begins.","period_of_significance":"c. 1840","architect_builder":"James Wilson","architectural_style":"Federal with Italianate influences","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as a private residence; the form marks the status as occupied.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:13.021293-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79001792.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79001792/9a238b7133-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79001792/9a238b7133-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Doan_House_in_Wilmington.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Doan_House_in_Wilmington.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71987184","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doan_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14716403"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/clinton-county/doan-house-79001792/"}
