The brick Lamberson House is one of the county's largest, most ornamented and best preserved Greek Revival residences, and it reflects its first owner's success as a businessman. The frame Markley House, remodeled around 1890 from a dry goods store, shows Queen Anne influences.","narrative":"Two houses on adjoining lots in Canal Lewisville, Coshocton County, record changing architectural fashion across the nineteenth century. The larger is a rectangular two-story brick house built in 1842 for Samuel Lamberson, a prosperous grain merchant who owned the Empire Mill in nearby Roscoe Village. It has a sandstone foundation, gable roof, symmetrical five-bay front and a broad central hall. Italianate brackets and an entrance porch were probably added after 1872. Beside it stands a frame building from the same year that Lamberson used as a dry goods store. David Markley bought both properties in 1872 and, in the 1890s, converted the store into a Queen Anne style retirement cottage with a steeper roof, porches and decorative fireplaces. Markley descendants owned the property until 1951. In a community of mostly frame buildings, the brick house is among the few of its kind and, with the cottage, one of the best preserved properties in town.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival (main house), with Italianate alterations; Queen Anne (frame house)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition and occupied as a private residence; both buildings have been restored.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.64492-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/84000125.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84000125/45648b3c53-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84000125/45648b3c53-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lamberson-Markley_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lamberson-Markley_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71987263","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137618118"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/coshocton-county/lamberson-markley-houses-84000125/"}
