J. Downing before the Civil War. It was also the home of the Seymour and Welton families, both tied to the local history of Weymouth and Medina Township. The form cites its integrity of location, design, materials, feeling and association.","narrative":"This frame house on South Weymouth Road in Weymouth, Ohio, was built in 1853 according to county tax records and is a notable example of Early Gothic Revival design. It has a steep roof, seven gables, four of them with blind pointed shutters, clapboard siding, a sandstone foundation and a porch with flattened Gothic arches. The undulating vergeboards in the gables were carved rather than sawn. An Italianate bay was added around 1875 and a kitchen wing around 1880, the latter matching the original Gothic detail. Inside, the woodwork is simple, the doors and hardware are original, and the floors are wide boards. The house is linked to two families of local importance. Lathrop Seymour arrived in Weymouth in 1817 and built the township's first sawmill, and the house appears in the 1857 county map under William H. Seymour. By 1874 it was the home of N. W. Welton, a dairy farmer and cheese maker, during the years when cheese making drove the village economy.","period_of_significance":"1853","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Gothic Revival (Early Gothic Revival)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as occupied private residence in excellent condition; the form says it is basically unchanged apart from a later bay and kitchen wing.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.694874-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79001896.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79001896/8c59aa74e4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79001896/8c59aa74e4-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Duds98","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:NRHP-William_H._Seymour_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Duds98</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:NRHP-William_H._Seymour_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71990231","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138577251"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/medina-county/seymour-william-h-house-79001896/"}
