It has radiating voussoir lintels, a simple frieze board and stepped parapet walls typical of the style. Apart from one early twentieth-century addition and an aluminum porch awning, its shape and details remain largely intact.","narrative":"This brick house at 206 West Silver Street in Lebanon, Ohio, dates to about 1840 and appears to have been built in the early 1840s by William and Jane Smith. It rises two and a half stories on a stone foundation under a gable roof of standing seam metal. The tallest front section has stepped parapet walls, an off-center entrance with a cut limestone porch and steps, radiating voussoirs over the front windows, and a plain wood frieze with wooden box gutters. Rear sections include a two-story part and a one-story addition with a cement block foundation. Ownership passed from the Smiths to James Smith in 1846, then to his son Joseph in 1892, and Frank P. Davis, a laborer, bought it in 1903 after likely renting it earlier. The house was recognized as a relatively unaltered Federal style example in Lebanon. It stands about two blocks from the central business district in a largely residential area.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as a residence in fair exterior condition; it has one early twentieth-century addition and an aluminum porch awning.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.354425-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/85000245.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85000245/e63b09ab52-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85000245/e63b09ab52-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Smith-Davis_House_in_Lebanon.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Smith-Davis_House_in_Lebanon.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986370","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138762818"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/warren-county/smith-davis-house-85000245/"}
