It later served as a convent.","why_significant":"The house is significant as a well-preserved early Victorian Italianate residence, later updated with a colonial revival doorway and porch around the turn of the century. It is also tied to Charles Woodruff, an early entrepreneur who helped develop Wyoming as a village.","narrative":"Built around 1855 to 1858 at 411 Springfield Pike in Wyoming, Ohio, this two-story brick house is a well-preserved example of early Victorian Italianate design. It has a hip slate roof, stone lintels and sills, eyebrow windows, and wide eaves supported by decorated compound brackets. A neo-classic doorway and Ionic veranda were added around the turn of the century, likely by the builder-developers Charles and William Schuberth, who lived here from 1910 to 1934. A large brick addition at the rear was made shortly after the original construction. The house is also linked to Charles Woodruff, who moved from Cincinnati in 1858. He presided over the Lockland Lumber Company, owned a grain mill, general store and pharmacy, served as the first Postmaster, developed two subdivisions in the 1880s, and was a Baptist church trustee and civic leader. Since 1934 it has served as a convent for St. James of the Valley Church.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Victorian Italianate","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Used as a convent for St. James of the Valley Roman Catholic Church since 1934; exterior condition listed as excellent.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.64785-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/86001651.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86001651/c2bf0c8b2e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86001651/c2bf0c8b2e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Photo by Greg Hume (Greg5030)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CharlesWoodruffHouse.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo by Greg Hume (Greg5030)</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:CharlesWoodruffHouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986408","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Woodruff_House_(Wyoming,_Ohio)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5083702"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/woodruff-charles-house-86001651/"}
