It may be the school shown on Medina Road west of Hametown Road in 1874 and 1891, and it does not appear at its present location until 1910.","narrative":"Built around 1870, this small one-story schoolhouse at 4655 Akron-Medina Road in Bath Township is one of the few early educational buildings still standing in the township. It is a rectangular post-and-beam building on a coursed ashlar foundation, with clapboard siding, a gable roof with shingles, a narrow cornice, corner boards and evenly spaced vertical windows with shutters. Plain window surrounds have projecting architraves. A side entrance wing has been altered with a garage door, yet a wainscot, blackboard and other schoolroom fixtures remain visible inside. County atlases suggest it may be the school shown on Medina Road west of Hametown Road in 1874 and 1891, and it first appears at its present location in 1910, so it was moved. It now sits in front of a private house, with large trees, a drive, an open field and a lake behind it. It is used for garage and storage purposes, and its condition is rated good outside and fair inside.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Victorian vernacular","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as garage and storage; interior in fair condition, exterior in good condition; altered by a side entrance wing with a garage door and moved to its present site.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.536668-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79002801.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002801/b27f96030f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002801/b27f96030f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BATH_TOWNSHIP_SCHOOL,_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:BATH_TOWNSHIP_SCHOOL,_SUMMIT_COUNTY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986286","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138715775"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/summit-county/bath-township-school-79002801/"}
