The house hosted the township's organizational meeting in 1831. Woodrow served as township clerk, trustee and Justice of the Peace. It is also one of few remaining historic homes in a rapidly changing township.","narrative":"Built in 1828 by early settler William Woodrow, this 2 1/2-story brick house on Champion Street East in Champion, Ohio, is known locally as \"The Old Brick.\" It has a rectangular stone foundation, a gable roof, four large chimneys, and walls of faded red brick made on the site. The style is described as Greek Revival-Federal, with an asymmetrical front facade, paired gable-end chimneys and brick lintels and sills. Woodrow first built a log cabin nearby in 1808. His house hosted Champion Township's organizational meeting in 1831, and he went on to serve as township clerk, trustee and Justice of the Peace. The township's first school and the Champion Presbyterian Church, which he helped charter, were also on the property. Few unaltered historic homes remain in the township after heavy growth, which adds to the house's importance. Later changes include a four-columned east porch, new windows on the first floor and a modern detached garage.","period_of_significance":"1828","architect_builder":"Builder: William Woodrow (the form's builder/architect field says unknown)","architectural_style":"Greek Revival-Federal","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied private residence in good condition, with some alterations including a four-columned east porch and replaced first-floor windows.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.957382-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/82003658.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003658/d0341a0c1f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003658/d0341a0c1f-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:William_Woodrow_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:William_Woodrow_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71991689","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138749207"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/trumbull-county/woodrow-william-house-82003658/"}
