James Reed acquired the property in 1837 and lived there, and it is assumed he built the house.","narrative":"This two-story wood-frame house on East College Street in Fredericktown, Ohio, dates to 1837, when James Reed acquired the property. He lived there, and it is assumed that he built the house. It follows an early Greek Revival design on a rectangular plan, with a gable roof, a sandstone foundation and a five-bay front. Its centerpiece is the entrance, a recessed doorway framed by two freestanding Doric columns that support an entablature, with a Greek Revival cornice crowning the building above. The doorway is regarded as the finest Greek Revival example in town, and that distinction is the main reason the house was listed. Over time, asbestos shingles have covered the original capboards, the window sash have been replaced, and the interior has been remodeled. The house sits on a small lot very close to the street, with lawns and shrubbery behind it. It remains in residential use, and both its interior and exterior are in good condition.","period_of_significance":"1837","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a residence; interior and exterior condition both listed as good.
