Stearns, president of Stearns and Foster and son of its founder, which reflects the continuing link between Wyoming and the industrial town of Lockland. It is also described as the most imposing late Queen Anne mansion in Wyoming, with an unusual rectangular plan.","narrative":"This two-and-a-half-story residence at 320 Reily Road in Wyoming, Ohio, dates from about 1900. Built of pressed brick, now painted, on a rock-faced ashlar foundation, it has a gable roof of flat red tile and a rectangular plan with a pavilion and tower at the left. Details include rock-faced stone lintels and sills, a wraparound veranda with Tuscan columns, an Ionic entrance porch, a half-timbered gable on the east end, and four massive corbelled chimneys. It sits on a deep, hillside lawn of 1.9 acres, and the former carriage house at the rear is now a separate dwelling. The house is associated with William S. Stearns (1857-1937), president of Stearns and Foster and son of its founder, George Stearns. Wyoming began as a suburb for mill owners of nearby Lockland, and the Stearns family kept that connection alive. Architecturally, it is considered the most imposing late Queen Anne house in Wyoming, unusual for its rectangular plan.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne influence (late Queen Anne in mansion form)","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Exterior in good condition; in residential use; the carriage house has been converted to a separate house.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.675879-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/86001649.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86001649/bb34b488af-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86001649/bb34b488af-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"Photo by Greg Hume (Greg5030)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WilliamStearnsHouseLR.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:WilliamStearnsHouseLR.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986420","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Stearns_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8018761"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/stearns-william-house-86001649/"}
