Washington Street in Salem, Marion County, Illinois, built in 1854 with a rear wing added in 1855 for Howard and Tabitha (Pace) Badollet.","why_significant":"The nomination argues architectural significance under Criterion C as a good example of mid-nineteenth century classical architecture with Italianate ornamentation. It is described as the only remaining undisturbed example of this style and period in Salem and the oldest brick home in the city. The period of significance runs to 1880 to account for Italianate details likely added before then.","narrative":"Built in 1854, with a rear wing added in 1855, this two-story brick house in Salem, Illinois, was the first home of Howard and Tabitha (Pace) Badollet. Howard Badollet came from Ohio and worked in fur trading, dry goods and hardware, and lumber, supplying railroad ties to the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. The house has a sandstone foundation, solid brick walls four courses thick, hewn white oak framing, and a central-hall plan with four rooms over four. Its hipped roof, symmetrical windows with segmental arches, and paired eave brackets reflect the Italianate style, with decorative pieces probably added in the 1860s or 1870s. The nomination describes it as the oldest brick home in Salem and the only undisturbed example of its style and period left in town, since similar buildings were demolished in the 1960s and 1970s. Later owners included the Jennings and White families, both prominent locally. It was listed for architecture, with significance extending to 1880.","period_of_significance":"1854 - 1880","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Private residence, described as in excellent condition for restoration, with some foundation settling; restoration work was in progress at the time of nomination.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:35.869836-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/94/8935/28893594/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_IL/90001839.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90001839/088b40e87e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90001839/088b40e87e-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Badollet_House_in_Salem.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Badollet_House_in_Salem.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/28893594","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badollet_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4841071"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/illinois/marion-county/badollet-house-90001839/"}
