Its central section is Greek Revival in character, with an entrance framed by side and top lights and sheltered by a small Greek Revival porch. A one-story wing on the east side carries an elaborate bracketed cornice, which suggests it was added later. Clapboard siding covers the frame walls, the roof is a gable covered in asphalt, and the foundation is sandstone. The plan is T-shaped. The house was recognized as a good example of transitional architecture from the period around the Civil War, blending Greek Revival and Italianate elements. It also has local historical interest as the long-time home of Fred Hosack, one of Fredericktown's first druggists. The house remains a residence on a quiet street, shaded by trees and shrubbery, and its condition is recorded as good both inside and out.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival - Italianate","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a residence; interior and exterior condition both listed as good.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.22677-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79003867.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003867/5e4e813f74-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003867/5e4e813f74-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hosack_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hosack_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985556","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138391614"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/knox-county/hosack-house-79003867/"}
