It is part of the Park Avenue West multiple resource area.","why_significant":"The inventory describes it as a good example of wood frame Queen Anne architecture that keeps many original features despite alterations. Its unequal octagonal corner tower, one of few on the street with that shape, and its variety of sidings and porches set it apart from other houses of the period on the avenue and in the city.","narrative":"This 2 1/2-story wood frame house at 437 Park Avenue West in Mansfield, Ohio, was built around 1885 in the Queen Anne style. It has a complex hip roof of slate, clapboard siding, an irregular plan and a stone foundation. Numerous porches, stained glass windows and a tall corner tower give it distinction. The front porch has Ionic columns, turned baluster rails and a small decorative pediment, and a small second-floor porch with ornate wood railings sits between the projecting front gable and the tower. The tower is an unequal octagon, one of few on the street with that shape, and the variety of sidings and porches distinguishes the house from others of its period on the avenue. The house was listed under S. M. Douglas in 1895. It has been altered inside and has shown some deterioration, partly from moisture held by shrubs near the porch, yet it keeps many original features and is valued as a good example of wood frame Queen Anne design.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as apartments in the inventory, with poor exterior condition; later comments say some deterioration came from moisture held by large shrubs near the front porch and that a collapsed retaining wall accounted for much of the earlier deterioration remark.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:15.115854-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/83002030.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83002030/9c8a7ee160-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83002030/9c8a7ee160-1600.webp","licence":"CC0","author":"Smallbones","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:428_PAW_Krause_Mansfield.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Smallbones</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:428_PAW_Krause_Mansfield.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986026","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138662420"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/richland-county/douglas-s-m-house-83002030/"}
