Wolfe and designed by Samuel Hannaford & Sons.","why_significant":"The building was designed by the architectural firm Samuel Hannaford & Sons and is described as an excellent example of Romanesque architecture. It retains most of its original integrity. It is part of a thematic group of Hannaford works.","narrative":"Built in 1888 at 965 Burton Avenue in Cincinnati, this large coursed random stone house was designed by Samuel Hannaford & Sons for Mary A. Wolfe. Its front facade is marked by a massive wall dormer and a heavy arcaded porch with Romanesque portals, while a three-story engaged turret rises on the west side. A two-story beveled stone bay topped by a balcony, vermiculated sandstone lintels, and a copper balustrade with dentils and swags add detail. The east side has a Romanesque porte cochere. Later changes include a small rear addition, a stuccoed roof dormer, and removal of the turret cap. The house later became a nursing home for elderly residents but keeps most of its original character. It was recognized as an excellent example of Romanesque architecture and as one of the works of the Hannaford firm, a prominent Cincinnati architectural practice.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Samuel Hannaford & Sons","architectural_style":"Romanesque","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a nursing home (rest home for elderly citizens); condition listed as good, with a small rear addition, a stuccoed roof dormer on the facade, and the turret cap removed.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.46106-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/80003092.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003092/9bf12e3b25-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003092/9bf12e3b25-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mary_A._Wolfe_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mary_A._Wolfe_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985386","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_A._Wolfe_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6778770"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/wolfe-mary-a-house-80003092/"}
