C. Lindsay for local grocer William R. Smith.","why_significant":"The house is nominated for its architecture as the work of Henry Clay Lindsay, described as the most prolific architect Zanesville ever produced. It reflects Lindsay's Richardsonian Romanesque approach through its heavy round-arched stone trim. It is the only remaining Lindsay house on the southeast side of the city.","narrative":"Built in 1894 at 920 Marietta Street in Zanesville, Ohio, this three-story brick house sits on a sandstone foundation beneath a roof of intersecting gables. Paired round-arched first-floor windows with heavy rock-faced stone heads reflect the Richardsonian mode, while corbeled brickwork hints at Queen Anne influence. A two-story bay window projects from the east side. The house was designed by Henry Clay Lindsay (1845-1902), a Zanesville native who began as a contractor and was listed as an architect in city directories by 1875. He designed scores of residential, commercial and industrial buildings across Ohio and beyond, and is described as the most prolific architect Zanesville ever produced. The client was William R. Smith, a local grocer. The house is the only remaining Lindsay residence on the city's southeast side. Its interior has been heavily vandalized, but plans call for exterior restoration and conversion of the interior into a community center.","period_of_significance":"1894","architect_builder":"H. C.
