The nominated area is under one acre within a larger working farm.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is architecturally significant as a transitional design blending Greek Revival and Gothic Revival elements. It cites the rectangular transom and sidelights and flat stone lintels alongside a steeply pitched center gable, lancet window and paired brackets. A township survey found no other brick farm house with the same two-room-deep, three-bay form and paired windows.","narrative":"Built between 1855 and 1860 in Madison Township near Groveport, this two-and-a-half-story brick farm house follows the common Midwestern \"Classical 4 over 4\" plan, with a rear wing that makes it L-shaped. A matching brick springhouse sits behind it, and an ornamental iron fence made by Mast & Foos of Springfield surrounds the house on three sides. The design mixes styles: the entrance with its transom and sidelights and the flat stone lintels reflect Greek Revival, while the steep slate roof, center gable with lancet window and paired brackets reflect Gothic Revival. Inside, the original floor plan survives, with walnut woodwork, hardwood floors and marbelized slate mantels. A township survey found no other brick farm house of this form with paired windows. Successive owners were farmers and local officeholders, including Zebulon Perrill and Samuel Goodman, whose scale of building reflects their standing.","period_of_significance":"1855-1860","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival and Gothic Revival (transitional); Classical 4 over 4 farmhouse type","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Occupied and used as a private residence on a working farm; the house retains its original floor plan, with a remodeled kitchen and a pantry converted to a bath.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.778299-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/85000565.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85000565/e68e6ea0d5-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85000565/e68e6ea0d5-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Aesopposea","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PerrillGoodmanFarmhouse.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Aesopposea</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PerrillGoodmanFarmhouse.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71990907","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perrill%E2%80%93Goodman_Farmhouse","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7169622"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/pickaway-county/perrill-goodman-farm-house-85000565/"}
