It is also tied to Manville Thorp, who bought the land in 1834 and farmed it, though the house may have been built by R. Shaw after the property was divided.","narrative":"Standing on a hilltop at 1907 Medina Line Road in Bath Township, this two-story wood-frame house dates to about 1880 and is considered one of the better examples of stick style architecture in the township. It has a cross-shaped plan, a stone foundation, clapboard siding, and a gable roof with shingles. Notable features include a full front porch with spindle columns and edging, double entrances, a wide central window beneath a porch gable, and a two-story bay window on the side. The land was bought in 1834 by Manville Thorp, who moved his family to the unimproved farm and owned 275 acres by 1874. His home then stood elsewhere on the property. Between 1874 and 1891 the land was divided, and R. Shaw acquired the parcel on which the house sits and may have built it. Pine trees front the house, woods lie to one side, and a large barn and cultivated fields are at the rear.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Stick style","criteria":[],"status_note":"Exterior condition is described as very good; the house is in residential use.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.850297-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79002791.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002791/af4124129f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002791/af4124129f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MANVILLE_THORP_RESIDENCE,_BATH,_SUMMIT_COUNTY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jerrye &amp;amp; Roy Klotz, MD</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MANVILLE_THORP_RESIDENCE,_BATH,_SUMMIT_COUNTY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986242","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138694855"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/summit-county/thorp-manville-residence-79002791/"}
