It is also associated with Ayres L. Bramble, a prominent Hamilton County hog farmer and pork packer whose operation supported Cincinnati's role as \"Porkopolis.\"","narrative":"Built in two stages, around 1815 and 1825, this two-story clapboarded house on Homer Avenue in Cincinnati is a provincial adaptation of the Greek Revival style. The original three-room dwelling is now the dining room, kitchen and bathroom, and the larger wing added about 1825 carries the main Greek Revival detailing. A wooden portico with fluted Doric columns and fretwork molding marks the symmetrical five-bay front, and the entrance has a leaded glass transom and four-paned sidelights. Inside, Doric mantels and moldings, a plaster ceiling medallion with the Greek anthemion motif, and a winding staircase with a cherry banister survive. The house is valued as an early example of Greek Revival design in southwestern Ohio. It is also linked to Ayres L. Bramble, a regionally important hog farmer and pork packer whose Plainville slaughterhouse processed 36,000 hogs in one season, illustrating the farming economy behind Cincinnati's meat packing industry.","period_of_significance":"circa 1815-1825","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Provincial adaptation of Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition, on its original site, and in use as a private residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.660721-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/82003576.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003576/81e27b4215-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003576/81e27b4215-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ayres_L._Bramble_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ayres_L._Bramble_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71988827","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayres_L._Bramble_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4831660"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/bramble-ayres-l-house-82003576/"}
