It is a two-story wood-frame house with clapboard siding, a sandstone foundation and a gable roof covered in asphalt. Its most notable feature is the front entrance, where two pilasters support an entablature over a doorway flanked by side lights. The original shutters appear to remain in place. Later changes were modest: two dormer windows were added on the east side and a porch was built at the rear. The house was owned by the Hosack family, prominent area merchants, who also owned the neighboring house to the east. Local tradition holds that it was built for a Hosack daughter as a wedding gift. It was recognized as a surprisingly intact, attractive example of Greek Revival design. Shade trees surround the house on a small lot in a residential neighborhood, and it continues to serve as a residence in good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a residence; interior and exterior condition both described 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 02:53:12.023878-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79003874.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985568","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/knox-county/second-hosack-house-79003874/"}
