The group traces the institution's development through a variety of architectural styles.","narrative":"Built in 1867-1868 on the Heidelberg College campus in Tiffin, Ohio, this two-story brick building at 67 Greenfield Street was originally the college president's home. Six presidents lived there, from George W. Williard, who took office in 1868, through William T. Wickham, whose term ended in 1969. In 1970 it became the Development House, holding public relations offices. The building has brick bearing walls laid in common bond, a rubble stone foundation, a low truncated roof covered in tin, and a rectangular plan. Its main entrance has a transom and side panels, and a smaller porch with Doric columns replaced the original front porch. Front windows have entablatures, while others have radiating voussoirs. A one-story frame addition with shiplap siding was made at the rear. It was included in a thematic group of campus buildings that illustrate the college's growth since its founding in 1850. Its condition is very good.","period_of_significance":"1867-1868","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as offices for public relations (the Development House) since 1970; interior and exterior condition listed as very good.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.22009-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79002768.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002768/63c57f22a8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002768/63c57f22a8-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:President%27s_House,_Heidelberg_University.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:President%27s_House,_Heidelberg_University.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986138","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138673324"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/seneca-county/presidents-house-79002768/"}
