Dated to 1865, the two-story wood-frame building was constructed by Dr. King, a local physician, as both his residence and office. The house slopes toward the rear, which exposes the sandstone basement as a ground floor; this level originally held the doctor's office and later became an antique shop, while the two upper floors served as living space. It has clapboard siding, a gable roof and a rectangular plan. Its proportions and front doorway, with pilasters, entablature, and side and top lights, follow Greek Revival design. The windows and interior finishes are mostly Italianate, and the eaves are plainly finished without brackets. A central hallway and open stairway were being restored when it was surveyed. The building was recognized as an unusual and impressive example of transitional architecture between the two styles.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival - Italianate","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition listed as good inside and out; the basement is an antique shop, the upper floors served as a residence, and the central hallway and open stairway were being restored at the time of the survey.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.882466-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79003868.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003868/219f1a754b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003868/219f1a754b-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"User:Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dr._King_House,_Fredericktown.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">User:Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dr._King_House,_Fredericktown.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985558","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138392042"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/knox-county/king-dr-house-79003868/"}
