The inventory dates it to about 1825, though a later administrative correction changed the name but left the date unchanged. It stands at the corner of Route 161 and Hartford Street, across from Kilbourne School, on half of an original village lot. The house has one and a half stories, a gable roof, wood shingle wall covering, 9/6 double-hung sash windows on the first floor, an entablature board across the facade and gable ends, and a small central chimney. A rear lean-to is probably an early addition, and a garage and vestibule were added later. The form notes it may have been moved from the Village Green. It was recognized as a fine example of early nineteenth-century braced-frame building, notable for its intact state, and for a saltbox-like shape that reflects the New England heritage of Worthington's founders. In 1980 it was a residence in excellent condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Architecture - 19th Century; braced-frame construction with saltbox-like form","criteria":[],"status_note":"Residence in use, with interior and exterior condition listed as excellent in 1980.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:13.025324-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/80003016.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003016/13b80e806b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003016/13b80e806b-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gilbert_House_in_Worthington.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gilbert_House_in_Worthington.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"10000190","name":"Worthington Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/ohio/worthington-historic-district-10000190/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985139","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_House_(Worthington,_Ohio)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5560984"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/franklin-county/gilbert-house-80003016/"}
