Lemuel and Abel Kimball came from New Hampshire in 1812, and Solomon, Addison (a builder) and Abel later divided an original 1,000-acre tract. Despite alterations, the street facade still conveys the original period.","narrative":"Built around 1825, this 1-1/2 story Federal vernacular house at 391 West Main Street in Madison, Ohio, is a wood-frame residence on a stone foundation with a gable roof. Its lengthwise five-bay facade has a center entrance with a transom and simple entablature. Later changes include an apartment ell at the southwest corner, an improved rear lean-to kitchen, an enclosed corner porch, an added external chimney beside the original center chimney, and metal siding over the original siding. A small original cellar was expanded into a full basement in 1945. The house is tied to the Kimball family, early settlers who came from New Hampshire in 1812. Lemuel and Abel Kimball arrived first, and Solomon, Addison (a builder) and Abel later divided an original tract of 1,000 acres. The house is considered a family home of the town's most important settler family, and its street facade still conveys its original period. Three non-original outbuildings stand at the rear of the lot.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal vernacular","criteria":[],"status_note":"Residence in good condition inside and outside; altered with additions, metal siding over original siding, and a full basement dug in 1945.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.498554-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/80003124.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003124/77f7dfb755-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003124/77f7dfb755-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"LeeG7144","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:391_W_Main_St.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">LeeG7144</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:391_W_Main_St.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985640","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138447844"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/lake-county/kimball-solomon-house-80003124/"}
