The house, office and outbuildings together show a small-town pattern of a physician's office beside his dwelling. Its high-style detailing makes it one of the village's finest buildings.","narrative":"Built around 1895 on Main Street in Belmont, Ohio, this three-story wood frame house was the home of Dr. Lindley Schooley (1824-1908), a physician who practiced in the village for most of his life and later served as president of the First National Bank of Belmont. The house is a Queen Anne design with an irregular outline, a round southeast tower with a conical slate roof, a raised porch with slender columns, and contrasting shingle and clapboard siding. A Palladian window and stained glass add variety. Inside, golden oak finishes, tile-faced fireplaces and a carved open stair stand out. Dr. Schooley's one-room office stands just east of the house, with maid's quarters, a decorative well house, smokehouse, barn, coal house and other outbuildings nearby. The group shows the small-town habit of placing a doctor's office beside his residence, and the house is considered among the finest high-style buildings in the village.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne, with a Colonial Revival Palladian window","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in excellent condition, occupied as a private residence; the form says the facade is essentially unaltered.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.509326-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/82003545.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003545/18350e36ca-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003545/18350e36ca-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"Bwsmith84 (talk)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lindley-Schooley_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Bwsmith84 (talk)</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lindley-Schooley_House.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"87000422","name":"Belmont Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/ohio/belmont-historic-district-87000422/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986817","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Lindley_Schooley_House_and_Office","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5304252"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/belmont-county/schooley-dr-lindley-house-and-office-82003545/"}
