Atlas records show John Richard owned the house from at least 1856 to 1891, and a probable relative, W.C. Richards, lived across the street from 1856 to 1874.","narrative":"Built around 1830 on the Cleveland-Massillon Road in Bath Township, this small Greek Revival house has a post-and-beam frame, clapboard walls, a stone foundation and a shallow gable roof with shingles. Its facade features a wide frieze and partial gable returns, with two smaller six-over-six windows above two larger ones. An enclosed shed-roof porch was later added to one side. County atlases from 1856, 1874 and 1891 show John Richard owning the property for at least thirty-five years, while W.C. Richards, probably a relative, lived across the street from 1856 to 1874. The house sits close to a busy road among similar houses, facing a newer commercial development. It remains in good condition and now serves as a gift shop. It was recorded in a township-wide survey of historic resources and is valued as a surviving example of early Greek Revival domestic building in the area.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is listed as good; the building currently houses a gift shop, and a shed-roof enclosed porch has been added to one side.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.136662-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79002807.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002807/5c4d1addb3-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002807/5c4d1addb3-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JOHN_RICHARD_HOUSE,_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:JOHN_RICHARD_HOUSE,_BATH,_SUMMIT_COUNTY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986266","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138697710"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/summit-county/richard-john-residence-79002807/"}
