It is also described as a good example of adaptive use. Atlases show C. Long owned the property in 1856 and J. Ligget held 50 acres there by 1874.","narrative":"Built around 1870 on Cleveland-Massillon Road near Ghent in Bath Township, this two-story wood-frame house is an elaborate example of Italianate design. It has a rectangular plan, clapboard siding, a stone foundation and a gable roof with shingles. Details include modillions under the eaves, louvered oculi in each gable, tall windows with dripstones and stilted arched surrounds, double entrances, and a bracketed porch wrapping two sides. County atlases show C. Long owning the property and house in 1856, and J. Ligget holding 50 acres by 1874. The survey describes it as perhaps the most elaborate Italianate house in Bath Township. It also stands out as a good example of adaptive use, since the former residence now serves as offices. The building sits fairly near a major road into Ghent, with a main highway immediately to the south, and its condition is recorded as good inside and very good outside.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":[],"status_note":"Now used as offices; interior condition good and exterior 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 02:53:12.739598-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79002803.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002803/7549dc6f20-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002803/7549dc6f20-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:J._LIGGET_RESIDENCE,_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:J._LIGGET_RESIDENCE,_SUMMIT_COUNTY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986260","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138715801"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/summit-county/ligget-j-residence-79002803/"}
