It is tied to the West family, early settlers in the area, and Edward West, who owned a 250-acre farm and lived there in the 1870s. It is part of a group of historic resources along the Wellington-Huntington Road.","narrative":"Built around 1840, this two-story Greek Revival farmhouse sits on the east side of Route 58 in Huntington Township, near Wellington, Ohio. The wood-frame house has clapboard siding, a slate gable roof, a sandstone foundation and a T-shaped plan. A two-story main pavilion with corner pilasters and a bold entablature adjoins a one-story wing to the south, which has a porch with square columns. The main entrance is highly detailed, and a recessed porch on the south side is of particular interest. Edward West, who owned a 250-acre farm, lived here in the 1870s. The West family was among the area's early settlers, and it is probable that they built the house. It stands on a large lawn with tall pine trees, somewhat secluded from the road, with barns and outbuildings to the rear. The house, outbuildings and five acres of land were included in the listing, and the property remains a residence in good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Exterior and interior in good condition; interior has undergone some changes; still used as a residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.807534-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79003897.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003897/0d41c08150-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003897/0d41c08150-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:West_House_in_Huntington_Township.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:West_House_in_Huntington_Township.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985770","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138533961"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/lorain-county/west-house-79003897/"}
