It has a rock-faced stone foundation, horizontal wood siding, a hip roof and projecting gabled bays on several sides. Windows use stained and leaded glass, and the gables carry decorative panels and shingles. Inside, carved wooden doors, a cherry staircase and fireplaces came from the Roehr Interior Wood Trim Company, a Bucyrus firm known well beyond the town. The house was the home of Herbert S. Blair, who made husking gloves, husking pins and other specialties and ran a shop on the public square. Later owners included a mail carrier and Robert Priebe, an early officer of the Swan Rubber Company. A shed and a 1960 concrete block garage stand on the lot. The building now houses an advertising agency, with an apartment upstairs. Its craftsmanship and detailing earned recognition as an excellent local example of its style.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition listed as excellent and altered; the house is occupied and used commercially as an advertising agency office, with an apartment on the second floor.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.154964-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/80002969.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80002969/46cd360f1f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80002969/46cd360f1f-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Herbert_S._Blair_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Herbert_S._Blair_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71987299","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137627088"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/crawford-county/blair-herbert-s-house-80002969/"}
