Allemong and Fred M. Bovie. It was also the retirement home of nationally syndicated columnist O. O. McIntyre and the long-time residence of his wife Maybelle. It is further described as a locally distinguished Italianate-detailed residence with an elaborate wooden porch.","narrative":"Gatewood is a two-story brick house on State Street in Gallipolis, Ohio, built about 1847 for fabric merchant Julius Regnier. Its five-bay front block has a gable roof, paired end chimneys, Flemish bond brickwork and a full-length Italianate porch. About 1877 grocer Andrew W. Allemong had the cornice replaced with a bracketed wooden entablature and added cast iron door and window details. Fred M. Bovie, his former business partner, owned the house from 1899 until his death in 1930. Both men were prominent in the commercial life of the city. In 1933 columnist O. O. McIntyre bought the house as an anniversary gift for his wife Maybelle, and it was remodeled as their retirement home, with a new rear wing, garage and garden wall. McIntyre's column \"New York Day by Day\" ran in more than 350 newspapers. Maybelle hosted notable guests there and left the property to the park district named for her husband. The house was listed for these associations and for its Italianate porch.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899, 1900- (specific dates 1847, 1877, 1933-38)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate detailing (on a Flemish-bond brick house)","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Listed as unoccupied and vacant, in excellent condition and unaltered; owned by the O.
