That church stood at the northeast corner of Route 58 and Route 162. Around 1920 the Baptist congregation merged with another church, and the house was sold and became a private residence. The wood-frame building rests on a sandstone foundation and has a gable roof. Its most unusual feature is a projecting central porch with a small room above it on the second floor. Corner pilasters and a heavy, simple entablature decorate the exterior. Imitation brick asphalt siding now covers the original wood clapboards, and the interior has been altered somewhat. The house sits on a lawn with shade trees and shrubs, with the cemetery to the north and other houses to the south. The property occupies less than one acre and is part of a group of historic resources along the Wellington-Huntington Road.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in good condition inside and out, with some interior alterations; used as a private residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:13.051492-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79003890.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985758","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/lorain-county/baptist-parsonage-old-79003890/"}
