It is currently a private residence.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is significant for its link to Governor Allen Trimble and his daughter Eliza Jane Trimble Thompson, known as \"Mother Thompson,\" a leader of the temperance Crusade. It also calls the house one of the oldest and finest in Hillsboro. In Highland County, no other building combines Jeffersonian form with Greek Revival detailing.","narrative":"Built around 1833-34 at 133 Willow Street in Hillsboro, this brick house has a truncated hipped roof, an elevated first floor and a notably tall twelve-foot main story. Semi-circular arched dormers, eight chimneys, a columned entrance porch with a tracery transom and sidelights, and original 12/12 windows give it an unusual blend of Jeffersonian form and Greek Revival detail. No other building in Highland County combines the two. The house is also tied to Governor Allen Trimble, who lived there until his death in 1870, and to his daughter Eliza Jane Trimble Thompson, called \"Mother Thompson.\" She led the temperance Crusade of 1873 that grew into the Women's Christian Temperance Union, and Hillsboro became known as the cradle of that movement. Notable guests included William Henry Harrison and Henry Clay. The family kept the house for six generations until its sale in 1954. Mid-1950s additions at the rear and south side do not greatly affect the view of the facade.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899 (specific dates c.1833-34)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Jeffersonian form with Greek Revival detailing","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied private residence in good condition, altered in the mid-1950s with rear and side additions and removal of roof cresting.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.107741-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/82003596.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71989357","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/highland-county/mother-thompson-house-82003596/"}
