The house blends I-House, Double Pen and New England Large house types with Greek Revival and Italianate details. Its size reflects the wealth and prominence of the Hune family in the community.","narrative":"This farmstead along State Route 26 near Reno, Ohio, centers on a long frame farmhouse and a raised-basement barn. The oldest part of the house, a 1865 I-House with a Greek Revival doorway, was moved a short distance in 1870. A larger two-story section was added by 1879, giving the house a length of about 90 feet, with slate roofs, sandstone foundations and an Italianate side porch. The barn stands roughly 150 feet west and is arranged in line with the house, a pattern linked to the Mid-Atlantic region. William Hune, a German-born immigrant who became a merchant and farmer, built the farm, and it became the nucleus of the hamlet of Lawrence. Part of the house once held the post office, which closed in 1912. While most of the village has vanished, the house, barn, a covered bridge and a church remain. The farm was recognized for its architecture and its role in local settlement history.","period_of_significance":"1865-1912","architect_builder":"William Henning (carpenter)","architectural_style":"Greek Revival, Italianate","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Historic and current functions are listed as a single dwelling and agricultural field; the house is occupied by descendants of a later owner, and a small hog shed is partially collapsed.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.023335-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/91000303.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/91000303/9c3c0ed2d5-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/91000303/9c3c0ed2d5-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:William_Hune_Farmhouse.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:William_Hune_Farmhouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71991915","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138763927"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/washington-county/hune-william-farm-91000303/"}
