Washington Street in Millersburg, Holmes County, Ohio, built in 1884 for banker and stock broker G.W. Cary. It now serves as a funeral home.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is significant mainly under Criterion C as an attractive Italianate example that stands out in Millersburg for its unique porch, projecting bays and fully bracketed cornice. The inventory also notes commercial significance through G.W. Cary, a banker and stock broker who lived there until his death in the early 20th century.","narrative":"Built in 1884 at 200 N. Washington Street in Millersburg, this two-story brick house is an Italianate residence built for George Washington Cary, a banker and stock broker. Its walls are three bricks thick on a tooled ashlar foundation, under a hip roof. Two-story bays flank the house, a veranda wraps around the side, and tall windows have shaped lintels and plain sills. A bracketed cornice with frieze panels is the most elaborate feature. Inside, a grand hall has cherry wood sliding doors and a staircase. A newer addition with a garage sits at the rear, and an old iron fence, slate sidewalk and large trees surround the lot. The house was listed mainly for its architecture, as a distinctive Italianate building in Millersburg with an unusual porch, projecting bays and full cornice treatment. Cary, who lived there until his death in 1905, was also active in civic and church affairs. The building is now a funeral home.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Used as a funeral home; interior in very good condition and exterior excellent, with a new addition with garage at the back.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.96002-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/84003734.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84003734/2b996daf25-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84003734/2b996daf25-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Christopher L.
