The house is notable for its unusual exposed base, coursed ashlar retaining wall and widely projecting architrave. The barn has paired louvers with round-arched detail and cantilevers on both sides.","narrative":"Built around 1830 on Hametown Road in Bath Township, this Greek Revival farmhouse and its large barn recall the early farming community of Summit County. The house is a one-and-a-half-story post-and-beam building with clapboard siding, a gable roof with shingles and a stone foundation. Its five-bay facade has a widely projecting architrave, three smaller attic windows above, and an unusual exposed base with a coursed ashlar retaining wall. A side wing was added later. The barn has paired louvers with round-arched detail and cantilevers on both sides with end brackets. The property is tied to Roswell Hopkins, born in Bath, whose parents moved there in 1813 and bought a large tract of land in the southwestern part of the township. The family nearly lost it during the economic slump after the War of 1812. Despite limited education, Hopkins farmed successfully until 1871, when he sold his land. Both buildings remain in use and in good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Interior and exterior condition both listed as good; still used as a residence and barn.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.225052-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79002799.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002799/2f8a3c3d02-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002799/2f8a3c3d02-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ROSWELL_HOPKINS_RESIDENCE,_GHENT,_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:ROSWELL_HOPKINS_RESIDENCE,_GHENT,_SUMMIT_COUNTY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986256","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138715670"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/summit-county/hopkins-roswell-residence-79002799/"}
