It is rectangular, wood-framed, and topped with a metal gable roof. Its walls are covered with vertical siding, and the structure sits on a coursed stone foundation with a basement. The inventory notes that two small barns were altered to serve as a chicken house, and the building was painted red. Beneath the metal covering lies the original frame structure, which has hewn timber framing and heavy beams. It is part of an early farm complex that has remained in the same family for more than 100 years. The surrounding land is flat farmland, the farm is still operating, and other farm structures stand on the site. The building is now used for storage and is in good exterior condition. Its inclusion reflects its role as a surviving piece of a long-held agricultural property in Washington Township.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in good exterior condition and now used for storage; the surrounding farm is still operating.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.197908-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79002868.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985042","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/franklin-county/shier-carl-h-chicken-house-79002868/"}
