It was built in 1858-1860 by farmer and landowner Jacob Valentine.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the significance is architectural. It presents the house as a prime, intact example of a gentleman's estate house in south-central Ohio from the years just before the Civil War. Features cited include three-withe brick walls made from brick fired on the property, a functionally designed smokehouse, Greek Revival porch, and a carved staircase with a unique newel post.","narrative":"Redlands is an L-shaped brick farm house on a slight knoll at the end of a tree-lined approach north of Circleville, Ohio. Jacob Valentine, a wealthy farmer and landowner, built it between 1858 and 1860. The five-bay west facade shows Greek Revival design, with a center doorway having sidelights and a transom, and a heavy porch with Doric posts and dentils. The walls are common-bond brick, apparently three withes thick, made from brick fired on the property. An attached smokehouse wing has a fireplace that vents smoke into a brick-floored attic. Inside, the center hall has a staircase with carved riser ends and an unusual newel post, along with original fireplace grates, transomed doors, wide floorboards and window panels. A board-and-batten shed and a braced-frame barn remain on the grounds. The house is valued as an intact, well-built example of a pre-Civil War gentleman's estate in south-central Ohio.","period_of_significance":"1858-1860","architect_builder":"Jacob Valentine (builder)","architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as occupied, private residence, in excellent condition, on its original site, with some alterations such as added bathrooms and a modern kitchen.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.534234-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/82003630.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003630/06c0ee7185-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003630/06c0ee7185-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Aesopposea","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RedlandsHouse.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Aesopposea</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RedlandsHouse.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71990919","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redlands_(Circleville,_Ohio)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7306023"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/pickaway-county/redlands-82003630/"}
