Granville Road in Worthington, Franklin County, Ohio, dated ca. 1850 in the original inventory and revised to 1867 in a 1991 update. It was built as a farmhouse and later renamed the Gilbert-Wilcox House.","why_significant":"The inventory describes it as a link to the agricultural heritage of the area around Worthington, since it was built as a farmhouse. It is also called a well-maintained example of the pre-Civil War brick architecture of the community. Hiram Wilcox used it during the second half of the 19th century.","narrative":"Located at 196 E. Granville Road in Worthington, this two-story brick house began as a farmhouse and is classed as Federal in style. The original inventory dated it to about 1850, while a 1991 update moved the construction date to 1867 and added Gilbert to the name. It has stuccoed stone and brick foundations, a gable roof with shingles, a three-bay front, stone lintels and sills, end-wall chimneys probably designed for stoves, and a transom over the central doorway. Inside, wide pine floors and four-panel pine doors survive downstairs. A single wing extends at the rear, and a family room was added there in recent years. The house was valued as a link to the farming heritage of the land around Worthington and as a well-kept example of the town's brick architecture from before the Civil War. Hiram Wilcox used it during the latter half of the 19th century. It sits on less than an acre on a main through street.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Inventory lists interior and exterior condition as excellent; a family room was added at the rear in recent years.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.017522-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/80003021.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003021/eeebbbee8a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003021/eeebbbee8a-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gilbert-Wilcox_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gilbert-Wilcox_House.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"03000760","name":"Rush Creek Village Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/ohio/rush-creek-village-historic-district-03000760/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985166","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138339372"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/franklin-county/gilbert-wilcox-house-80003021/"}
