It is also tied to Judge Edwin Mansfield, a Common Pleas judge and attorney active in local politics and city development, who lived there from about 1920 to the 1930s.","narrative":"Built around 1890 at 228 Park Avenue West in Mansfield, this two-story square wood frame house shows how residential design changed at the turn of the century. A hipped roof with a central dormer, a central bay front porch with round Ionic columns, a two-story projecting bay, leaded glass and varied window shapes make up its exterior, and the interior has ornate woodwork. The survey notes plain soffit brackets and a pedimented attic gable, and the building appears to have been little altered. It was listed as an example of the move from earlier Italianate details to Queen Anne styling, which the nomination says it illustrates better than other buildings on Park Avenue West or elsewhere in Mansfield. The porch and projecting bay represent that shift most clearly. The house is also linked to Judge Edwin Mansfield, a Common Pleas judge and attorney involved in local politics and the city's development, who lived there from about 1920 into the 1930s. The survey lists its use as commercial.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate (inventory sheet); described as turn-of-the-century transitional architecture between Italianate and Queen Anne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Inventory sheet lists the exterior condition as very good and the present use as commercial; the building appears to have undergone little or no alteration.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.791778-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/83002036.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986068","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/richland-county/mansfield-judge-house-83002036/"}
