It was built in 1906, with a small early 20th-century outbuilding at the rear.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is significant under Criterion C as a distinctive variation of the American Four-Square type, with a recessed arcaded porch and an intact plan. Its elaborate interior detailing in local American Chestnut reflects the success of a local restaurant owner during Canal Winchester's early 20th-century growth. It is one of 31 Four-Square houses in town and stands out among them for its preserved exterior and interior.","narrative":"Built in 1906 at the corner of East Waterloo and Trine Streets in Canal Winchester, this 2 1/2-story house is a variation on the American Four-Square form. Its upper story projects forward over a deep, full-width porch with round arched bays, and the hipped slate roof carries gabled dormers with tripartite windows. Inside, the plan is largely intact, with pocket doors, wood floors, and a staircase, mantel, trim and baseboards made of locally sourced American Chestnut. The house was listed for its architecture. It is one of 31 Four-Square houses in the town's limits, most of which were plainer originally and have since been heavily altered. Its porch and interior detail reflect the success of Chester Foor and his partner Daniel Alspach, who co-owned a local restaurant and bakery. After a period as a multiple-family residence, current owners have been rehabilitating it since 1984.","period_of_significance":"c. 1906","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Other: American Four-Square variation","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Used as a single dwelling; previously converted to multiple-family use, and since 1984 the owners have been rehabilitating it, removing later alterations and retaining original elements.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.251271-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/89001035.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89001035/8369f1ada4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89001035/8369f1ada4-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Wdzinc","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Foor-Alspach_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Wdzinc</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:Foor-Alspach_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985089","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137810192"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/franklin-county/foor-alspach-house-89001035/"}
