Rhoads.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it an excellent example of the Italianate style in Newark, with stone hoodmolds over round and segmental arched windows and a heavily bracketed cornice. It is distinguished by the date 1874 carved in stone and by wall dormers with frieze windows. It is also one of the few Victorian-era structures left on Newark's near west side.","narrative":"Built in 1874, this brick house at 74 Granville Street in Newark, Ohio, was the residence of Peter F. Rhoads and is a 2½-story Italianate building of irregular massing. It rests on a rock-faced stone foundation and has carved stone hoodmolds over tall round and segmental arched windows, a slate-shingled hipped roof, and an ornamental bracketed cornice. A wall dormer in the facade carries the date 1874 in stone. Later changes include a porch and balcony with paired slender columns, a rear brick wing, an elevator added in the 1930s, and a Victorian-style office room on the front porch in 1976. Inside, the floors, woodwork and doors are original, and an Italian marble fireplace carries a gold mirror beneath 11-foot ceilings. The house was recognized as an excellent local example of Italianate design. A nearby freeway has cut it off from the rest of a once fine residential neighborhood, leaving it as one of few Victorian-era buildings on Newark's near west side.","period_of_significance":"1874","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as restored and in excellent condition on its original site, with an office room added to the front porch in 1976; listed as occupied with commercial and private residence uses.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.726742-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/80003142.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003142/1113d91c57-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003142/1113d91c57-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Wdzinc","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Peter_F._Rhoads_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Wdzinc</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:Peter_F._Rhoads_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71989698","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138461093"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/licking-county/rhoads-peter-f-house-80003142/"}
