Riverview in Dublin (Washington Township), Franklin County, Ohio, dated to 1875-80 on the inventory sheet and built by Henry Karrer.","why_significant":"The inventory records the house under local history and 19th-century architecture themes. It is a vernacular L-shaped dwelling with distinctive window architraves with lamb's tongue and shaped lintels, covered in ship-lap siding. It was moved a few yards to make room for a road.","narrative":"This two-story vernacular house on South Riverview Street in Dublin, Ohio, sits close to the Scioto River. Built by Henry Karrer, it is dated 1875-80 on the inventory sheet, though another entry gives c. 1775-80. The L-shaped frame building rests on a stone foundation, has a gable roof, and is covered in ship-lap siding. Small additions extend from the side and rear. Window architraves with lamb's tongue detailing and shaped lintels give it modest decoration. The house was moved a few yards north of its original position to make room for a road. It has remained a residence, with a landscaped lot, a garage, and a low stone wall along the north and west boundaries. Its condition is recorded as good inside and out. The property was recorded as part of a survey of Washington Township historic resources and was recognized for its local history and its representation of nineteenth-century vernacular architecture in Dublin.","period_of_significance":"1875-80","architect_builder":"Henry Karrer (builder, as named in the inventory)","architectural_style":"Vernacular","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a residence; interior and exterior condition listed as good.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.486451-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79002744.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002744/71b8b4c10e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002744/71b8b4c10e-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Henry_Karrer_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Henry_Karrer_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985288","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138321507"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/franklin-county/karrer-henry-house-79002744/"}
