Its seven-bay plan with two front entrances and its finely crafted stonework add distinction. The exterior is an excellent example of Greek Revival style, and the interior has fine Queen Anne detailing from about 1880.","narrative":"Near Perrysville in Richland County, Ohio, this two-story farmhouse is built of orange cut sandstone in the Greek Revival style. George Shambaugh bought the land in 1835 and soon afterward built the house, which the nomination describes as the most distinguished farmhouse in that part of the county. The front and west walls use large rectangular blocks that alternate broad and narrow slabs, while the rear and east walls use long, narrow, more roughly laid stones. An unusual seven-bay front has two entrances flanking a central window, and large metal S braces are visible on the facade. About 1880 the interior was remodelled with Queen Anne woodwork, a single room at the east end and a changed central stairway. Outbuildings include a barn, a summer kitchen and a springhouse. Shambaugh later gave land to the township for a cemetery, where he was buried. The house is valued as a rare, well-preserved pre-Civil War stone building.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied as a private residence; described as well maintained in good condition, with a rather deteriorated barn.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.564563-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/82003637.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003637/2c57403292-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003637/2c57403292-1600.webp","licence":"CC0","author":"User:OHWiki","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:George_Shambaugh_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">User:OHWiki</a>, <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/deed.en\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:George_Shambaugh_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71991100","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138666645"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/richland-county/shambaugh-george-house-82003637/"}
