It sits on a city lot with a stone foundation and a hip roof of slate.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it a fine and unusual example of Queen Anne architecture, notable among Park Avenue West and Mansfield buildings. It is distinguished by its fine state of preservation with no significant alterations. Its unusual profile includes a massive modified Palladian attic window and corner turrets flanking the front gable, features not found on other Mansfield buildings.","narrative":"This two-and-a-half-story Queen Anne house at 350 Park Avenue West in Mansfield, Ohio, dates to about 1890. It has wood walls on a stone foundation, an irregular plan and a slate hip roof. A porch wraps the south and east sides on large-scaled posts, and a projecting front gable has decorative framing and a semicircular window above. Shingle work appears above the windows, a three-story southeast tower looks truncated, and paired dormers have pyramidal roofs. City directories list W. S. Ward at the address in 1895, and G. W. Stephens used it in 1920. It was listed for its architecture. It stands out among Queen Anne buildings along Park Avenue West and elsewhere in Mansfield for its fine state of preservation with no significant alterations, its unusual profile, a massive modified Palladian attic window, and corner turrets beside the front gable that no other Mansfield building displays.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Listed as in good condition inside and out, and still used as a residence at the time of the survey.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.76736-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/83002052.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83002052/a49b92b1f6-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83002052/a49b92b1f6-1600.webp","licence":"CC0","author":"Smallbones","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:350_PAW_Ward_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:350_PAW_Ward_Mansfield.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986056","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138663393"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/richland-county/ward-w-s-house-83002052/"}
