It is a Greek Revival structure with clapboard siding, a sandstone foundation, and a gable roof covered in asphalt shingles. Its most notable feature is the massive entablature and enframement around the main entrance, along with a simple but boldly executed cornice that forms a front pediment. A second floor was later inserted, and the window openings were altered to light both levels. As Huntington's population declined, local churches closed and merged until one active congregation remained. The building now receives occasional use as the Huntington Grange meeting hall. Shrubbery and shade trees surround it, with a small parking lot at the rear. It is listed as part of a group of historic resources along the Wellington-Huntington Road.","period_of_significance":"1842-46","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Now used as a meeting hall for the Huntington Grange, with occasional use; interior and exterior condition listed as fair.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.025941-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79003884.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003884/89a543d274-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003884/89a543d274-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Huntington_Grange.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Huntington_Grange.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985748","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntington_Grange","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14716472"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/lorain-county/huntington-grange-79003884/"}
