It is also tied to Dr. Rufus Randall, a physician who built a large practice in Bath and was known for using new remedies with a high success rate.","narrative":"This frame house at 3675 Ira Road in Bath, Ohio, dates to about 1860 and still serves as a residence. It has a story-and-a-half Greek Revival form, with the shallow roof and side wing common to that style. Early Victorian features include vertical two-over-two windows, a shed-roof porch, a corbelled chimney and full-height windows on the lower facade. It has clapboard siding over a wood frame, a stone foundation and a gable roof with shingles. Its historical link is to Dr. Rufus Randall, who graduated from Starling Medical College in 1858 and moved to Hammond's Corners to begin practice. He built up a large practice and was known as a leader in using new remedies, which gave him a surprising rate of success. He married in 1863 and was a Republican who supported equal rights and reform. The house stands among homes from various periods near the center of Bath.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Victorian Vernacular","criteria":[],"status_note":"Exterior condition is listed as good; the building 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 02:53:12.210633-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79002796.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986250","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/summit-county/randall-dr-rufus-residence-79002796/"}
