Architecturally it blends Greek Revival form with early Gothic Revival detailing, notably the wave moulding at the cornice. It is part of a group of historic resources along the Wellington-Huntington Road.","narrative":"Built around 1860, this two-story wood-frame house on Route 58 in Huntington Township, near Wellington, served for many years as the parsonage for the local Methodist Church. The church itself, now the United Church of Huntington, sits almost directly across the street. The Methodists, Baptists and Congregationalists merged in 1932 to form the present congregation. The house follows the basic shape and plan of a typical story-and-a-half Greek Revival dwelling, but an unusual wave moulding at the cornice gives it a gingerbread look associated with early Gothic Revival design. It rests on a sandstone foundation, has clapboard siding, a gable roof and a T-shaped plan, and its interior has been altered. The property is a farm setting with barns and outbuildings to the rear, shade trees and shrubbery, other houses to the north and a cemetery to the south. The nominated area is two acres around the house. It remains a residence.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Present use is residence; interior and exterior condition both listed as fair; interior has been altered.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:11.986728-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79003892.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985760","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138532256"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/lorain-county/methodist-parsonage-old-79003892/"}
