It was surveyed in 1978 as part of a multiple resource area.","why_significant":"The building is one of Chesterville's largest early residences and was the home of M. Kelenan in 1859. It also served as the post office for a number of years. Its smaller window openings and plain, massive entablature set it apart from other Greek Revival buildings in the town.","narrative":"This two-story Greek Revival building sits on a small lot near the center of Chesterville, on the south side of Route 95, first building east of the Route 314 corner. It is wood frame with clapboard siding, a sandstone foundation, a gable roof of seamed metal, and a rectangular plan five bays wide across the front and three bays deep. A small entrance porch in the center of the front facade encloses the main doorway, which also carries Greek Revival features. A second, similar section was built against the back at about the same time. Smaller window openings and a plain, massive entablature distinguish it from other Greek Revival buildings in town. An 1859 county atlas shows it as the residence of M. Kelenan, and it may also have housed the offices of Dr. Main, who lived next door. For a number of years it served as the post office. It is regarded as one of Chesterville's largest early residences.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as in use as a post office and residence; interior and exterior condition both described 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 02:53:12.870972-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79002750.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002750/0cfd508b81-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002750/0cfd508b81-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Post_office_in_Chesterville,_Ohio.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Post_office_in_Chesterville,_Ohio.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985955","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138638705"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/morrow-county/u-s-post-office-79002750/"}
