It was built around the core of an 1850 farmhouse and reached its present form in 1906.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is architecturally significant for superimposing Tudor detail on a basic American house type, designed by the Dayton firm Peters, Burns, and Pretzinger. It is also significant as the birthplace and lifelong home of Katharine Kennedy Brown, a pioneer woman organizer in Republican party politics. The reviewer's sheet notes eligibility under criteria B and C.","narrative":"Duncarrick is a brick and stucco manor house in Dayton, Ohio, set in a wooded park of about sixteen acres. A farmhouse existing by 1850 forms its core, and a renovation completed in 1906 gave it a Tudor look, with red stucco walls, terra-cotta detailing, a red pantile roof and a crenelated front veranda. Inside, the parlor and music room are neoclassic, and the walnut-paneled library holds a carved Renaissance mantel. The Dayton firm Peters, Burns, and Pretzinger designed the changes. The house also matters for its link to Katharine Kennedy Brown, who was born and lived here. She organized Republican women across Montgomery County and Ohio, wrote widely distributed guides to political organization, and served on the Republican National Committee from 1932 to 1968. By the time of listing, factories and an interstate embankment surrounded the grounds, and the house was deteriorating.","period_of_significance":"1904-1906","architect_builder":"Peters, Burns, and Pretzinger","architectural_style":"Tudor Revival (American provincial architecture with Tudor detail)","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Described as dejected and deteriorating, surrounded by factories and an interstate embankment; the form says it has lost its viability as a residence and proposes adaptive reuse.
