It is designed in the Georgian Revival style and, of the associated family residences, shows the most characteristics of an elite period of architectural design. Its tile roof, probably from the Ludowici works in New Lexington, matches the roof of the Ed Ransbottom House, and a porte-cochere is on the north side. Mort Ransbottom served as president of the pottery corporation from its establishment until his retirement in 1950. He was also a prominent Mason, sat on the board of Roseville Savings and Loan, and worked as a financier in Zanesville, Columbus and Florida. The house is nominated alongside the pottery factory and the homes of other Ransbottom brothers, which together represent a major business in southern Muskingum County's clay industry.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.814668-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/80003188.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003188/c32f5edd1c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003188/c32f5edd1c-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mort_Ransbottom_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mort_Ransbottom_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985984","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138641202"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/muskingum-county/ransbottom-mort-house-80003188/"}
