Built in 1858, it is one of the latest houses in Licking County to combine a Greek Revival gable-front side-hall plan with Italianate details, at a time when most new homes were Italianate. It is described as the only known local example blending these transitional features.","narrative":"Built in 1858 on White Chapel Road near Newark, this two-story farmhouse in Licking County blends two architectural styles. Its gable-front, side-hall plan, six-over-six windows and entrance with yellow and red sidelights reflect Greek Revival design, while the flat-roofed entrance porch with carved brackets and the round-arched attic windows with keystoned hoodmolds are Italianate. A two-story veranda on the east side, a sandstone foundation and the original slate roof add to its character. The walls are solid wood made of stacked 2x4 boards cut from the farm's own timber. Inside, a curved stairway with a cherry banister, a built-in dining room cupboard and six-paneled doors survive. Anthony and Mary Johnson Pitzer had the house built, and it stayed in the family until 1976. It was listed because it is one of the latest Licking County houses to pair a Greek Revival plan with Italianate detailing, and it retains a high degree of integrity.","period_of_significance":"1858","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate; Greek Revival (transitional vernacular)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in good but neglected condition, with the rear addition in very poor condition and pulling away from the main block; used as a single dwelling.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:15.076146-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/88001297.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88001297/cee1fd4278-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88001297/cee1fd4278-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Lxjbkr","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Anthony_Pitzer_Jr._House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Lxjbkr</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:Anthony_Pitzer_Jr._House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71989702","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138461106"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/licking-county/pitzer-anthony-jr-house-88001297/"}
