It is also a significant example of what Walter Kidney called \"the architecture of choice,\" the eclectic revival-style suburban dwellings built for wealthy clients before the Depression.","narrative":"Built between 1928 and 1930 on Market Avenue North in Canton, this stone Georgian Revival house was commissioned by the widow and sister of Charles Newell Vicary, a men's furnishing store owner who bought the land before his death in 1921. Alexander Robinson of the Cleveland firm Garfield and Robinson designed it. The symmetrical house has a slate gabled roof, a modillioned cornice, classical pilasters, Palladian windows, bridged wall chimneys and a columned east portico. It is considered the only remaining example of estate architecture in Canton and a fine example of the eclectic, pre-Depression revival-style dwellings Walter Kidney described as the architecture of choice. At the time of the nomination, the exterior was being restored and the interior converted into three rental units. New wings were being added, and the house became the centerpiece of the Vicary Hill residential development on the original 15-acre estate.","period_of_significance":"1928-30","architect_builder":"Alexander Robinson","architectural_style":"Georgian Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Exterior being restored and interior being adaptively reused as three rental units; new garage wings under construction as part of the Vicary Hill development.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.63053-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/82003652.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003652/1a77b602eb-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003652/1a77b602eb-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Sanfranman59","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Vicary_House_(Canton,_OH).JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Sanfranman59</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:Vicary_House_(Canton,_OH).JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71991343","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138685028"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/stark-county/vicary-house-82003652/"}
