The architect and builder are unknown.","why_significant":"The inventory form calls it an outstanding example of a gingerbread Victorian house in the city. It is also historically important as the residence of Charles S. Fay, first principal of the Wyoming School, built in 1882, who held that position for 40 years.","narrative":"Built around 1875 at 325 Reily Road in Wyoming, Ohio, this two-and-a-half-story frame house is an example of Eastlake-influenced Victorian carpentry. It has a hip roof with three gables, two central corbeled chimneys, elaborately carved gingerbread vergeboard, and weatherboard siding with wide vertical boards at the corners and under the eaves. The foundation is ashlar stone. A one-story square bay on the front and a two-story square bay on the east side were probably added in the 1890s, along with a one-bay gingerbread porch. A one-story shed-roofed addition sits at the rear. The house stands on a winding wooded street of late 19th- to mid-20th-century architecture. It was listed for its architectural quality, described as an outstanding gingerbread Victorian in the city, and for its association with Charles S. Fay, first principal of the Wyoming School, built in 1882, who served in that post for forty years.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Eastlake","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Interior and exterior condition are both listed as good; the house is in residential use.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.204265-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/86001630.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86001630/ab2b851cf9-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86001630/ab2b851cf9-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"Photo by Greg Hume (Greg5030)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CharlesFayHouseLR.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo by Greg Hume (Greg5030)</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CharlesFayHouseLR.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986398","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Fay_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5077606"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/fay-charles-house-86001630/"}
