It has a rectangular plan, a rubble stone foundation, clapboard siding and a shingled gable roof. The long five-bay facade has a center entrance with a transom, and the original doors and window sash remain. A wide Greek frieze and cornice returns on the gable ends mark its Greek Revival vernacular character. Dormers were added around 1930, and a summer kitchen connects to the rear by an enclosed porch. The house was listed because it is locally significant as one of a series of Federal and Greek Revival vernacular houses linked to the local builder Addison Kimball. Tax records show that a frame house stood on George Pease's property as early as 1822, though the surviving building's style is later. The property also included a distillery. The lot, with several large trees, sits on Madison's main street and remains a residence.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1835","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival vernacular","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still used as a residence; interior and exterior condition listed as good.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.989724-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/80003128.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003128/ea68bae9f5-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003128/ea68bae9f5-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"LeeG7144","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:553_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:553_W_Main_St.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985610","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138447912"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/lake-county/pease-george-house-80003128/"}
