It is a Foursquare-type residence with Neoclassic and Colonial Revival influence, on a lot with a high iron fence.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is the best local example of the Foursquare variant of Colonial Revival. It is also tied to W. C. Retszch, president of National Label Company, one of the Cincinnati industrialists who made Wyoming their home. The site and its wrought iron fence add to the character of \"The Village\".","narrative":"Built in 1907 at 129 Springfield Pike in Wyoming, Ohio, this two-story frame house resembles an American Foursquare but with more variety. It has beveled siding, a hip roof with asphalt shingles, a quarry-cut ashlar foundation and a squarish plan. The central doorway has sidelights and a leaded art-glass transom, and an Ionic veranda wraps around the south side, with a pedimented entrance porch over the steps. A wide pedimental dormer, gable dormers and two corbel-capped chimneys complete the roofline. A high wrought iron fence marks the front of the lot, which faces a busy state highway but is shaded by dense trees. The house is considered the best local example of the Foursquare variant of Colonial Revival. It is also linked to W. C. Retszch, president of National Label Company, who was one of the Cincinnati industrial figures living in Wyoming, a bedroom community representing turn-of-the-century Cincinnati suburbia. Printing was a major Cincinnati industry.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Neoclassic Influence; Foursquare variant of Colonial Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Exterior condition listed as excellent; used as a residence; interior condition unknown.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.61504-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/86001642.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86001642/f5f754b5da-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86001642/f5f754b5da-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"Photo by Greg Hume (Greg5030)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WCRetszchHouseLR.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:WCRetszchHouseLR.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986418","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W.C._Retszch_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7945180"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/retszch-w-c-house-86001642/"}
