James. It sits on a hilltop just north of downtown Logan.","why_significant":"The house is tied to Charles W. James, a Logan merchant and long-serving county and state official of the ante-bellum era. Later owners, including lumberman Maynard Pond and merchant Charles Lytle, were also prominent local businessmen. Its hilltop position has made it a visual landmark in Logan since 1853.","narrative":"Built in 1853 on a hilltop at the northern edge of Logan, Ohio, this two-story frame house was the home of Charles W. James, a merchant who began working in Logan businesses in 1832. James served as Hocking County Recorder, Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas, and a state representative, and helped organize the county Republican party in 1856. The house has a slate gable roof, a sandstone foundation, a five-bay facade with sidelights and transom, and Greek Revival woodwork inside. In 1880 it passed to Maynard Pond, a lumberman and developer of two Logan subdivisions. His daughter and her husband, Charles Lytle, a partner in a Main Street general merchandise firm, remodeled it after 1907, adding a two-story Doric-columned porch and other details. Its size and elevated site have made it a visible local landmark since construction, and its association with prominent businessmen continued for generations.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival (original woodwork and doorway), with a later Colonial Revival porch","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied as a private residence; condition listed as excellent, with alterations from the early 20th century.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.646509-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/80003100.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003100/bfacdcca74-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003100/bfacdcca74-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"NotWorthington","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JamesHouseOhioHocking.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">NotWorthington</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JamesHouseOhioHocking.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"10000192","name":"Logan Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/ohio/logan-historic-district-10000192/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71989383","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138366039"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hocking-county/james-charles-worth-house-80003100/"}
