It is also an example of 19th-century school architecture with Romanesque Revival detailing.","narrative":"Built around the 1870s, this one-and-a-half-story brick schoolhouse on Brand Road in Washington Township, near Dublin, Franklin County, was originally a school and is now a private home. It rests on a stone foundation under a gabled asphalt-shingle roof, and its three-bay facade has an arcaded corbel table, pilastered corners and pilasters separating the bays. Tall, round-arched windows mark the end bays, and a doorway with fluted pilasters and a segmental arched stone pediment was added at the center. Later changes include a chimney over the center bay, dormer windows on the south side, and a one-story frame addition on the east side, along with a large garage and storage quarters. The building matters as one of only two schoolhouses used by the township until the Dublin school, since demolished, was built. It sits on a spacious, tree-filled lot with farm fields to the south and east.","period_of_significance":"Ca. 1870's","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Romanesque Revival elements","criteria":[],"status_note":"Now used as a private residence; interior condition listed as excellent and exterior as good, with later additions and alterations.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.823155-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79002762.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002762/73d62be23a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002762/73d62be23a-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Wdzinc","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Washington_Township_School.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Wdzinc</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:Washington_Township_School.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985244","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138330573"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/franklin-county/washington-township-school-79002762/"}
