It covers about 75 acres and roughly 223 buildings, mostly houses dating from the 1860s to the 1920s.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the Terrace as a mid-to-late nineteenth-century upper-class neighborhood that illustrates changing Midwestern domestic architecture, from Italian Villa and Italianate to Queen Anne, Stick, Shingle, Georgian Revival and Sears-Roebuck mail-order houses. It also notes ties to prominent local figures, including the birthplace of writer Zane Grey. The brick-paved, tree-lined streets are described as a source of community pride.","narrative":"McIntire Terrace is a residential district on the northwest side of Zanesville, Ohio, set on a natural terrace that once overlooked the city. The land came from the estate of John McIntire, and was platted in 1855 and sold in two-acre lots. Over the following half-century it became a prime neighborhood for well-to-do businessmen and their families. The roughly 223 buildings show a broad range of taste, including an 1861 Italian Villa, Italianate and Second Empire houses, Stick, Shingle and Queen Anne designs, Georgian Revival homes, and a row of Sears-Roebuck mail-order houses. Residents included a state militia general, a Grand Army of the Republic commander, foundry partners and a drug company founder, and Zane Grey was born on Convers Avenue. Interstate 70 and road widening removed some stately homes and left two main brick-paved areas. The district was listed as a well-preserved example of an upper-class nineteenth-century neighborhood.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"Alfred Granger (architect of the Grant-Curphey House)","architectural_style":"Mixed 19th and early 20th century styles: Italian Villa, Italianate, Second Empire, Stick, Shingle, Queen Anne, Georgian Revival, and Sears-Roebuck mail-order houses","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as a stable residential neighborhood with brick-paved streets; some intrusions and road alterations from Interstate 70 and the widening of Maple and Adair Avenues.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.818136-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79001918.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"07000025","name":"Muskingum River Navigation Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/ohio/muskingum-river-navigation-historic-district-07000025/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71990699","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/muskingum-county/mcintire-terrace-historic-district-79001918/"}
