It also represents the early 20th-century growth and suburbanization of the village.","narrative":"Located on High Street in Worthington's old commercial district south of the green, this two-story stuccoed brick building began about 1820 as a drug store. After it deteriorated, Dr. Claude Longenecker bought it and remodeled it completely in 1917. His dental office occupied the upper floor and the U.S. Post Office the ground floor, while his family lived in the rear and in a west addition. The remodeling gave the building a gable pediment, multi-paned casement windows, stucco walls and bonnet-style entry roofs with consoles, blending Craftsman and Colonial Revival influences. Additions followed around 1918, 1925 and 1926. A rehabilitation in 1987-88 restored original-style windows and reversed some later changes. It was listed because it is one of a few well-designed early 20th-century commercial buildings in a town known mainly for Federal-era and pseudo-colonial architecture, and because it reflects the village's growth as a suburban connection to Columbus.","period_of_significance":"1917","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Craftsman / Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Rehabilitated in 1987-88, with some later alterations reversed; used as offices, including a real estate office.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:15.119343-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/90000379.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90000379/b6851cfe06-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90000379/b6851cfe06-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Doctor_Longenecker_Office_Building.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Doctor_Longenecker_Office_Building.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"10000190","name":"Worthington Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/ohio/worthington-historic-district-10000190/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71988320","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138339447"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/franklin-county/longenecker-doctor-office-building-90000379/"}
