It was built by Dr. Nathaniel Fuller and is also known as the Simmons House.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an excellent local example of Federal architecture, with a Flemish bond facade, a finely detailed entrance and a Palladian window. It is also an I-House, a vernacular type tied to affluent agricultural communities. It is one of very few 1820s buildings left in the Utica area and was home to prominent citizens through the 19th century.","narrative":"Built around 1826 on North Main Street in Utica, Ohio, this brick house reflects the Federal style and the I-House form. It stands on a stone foundation under a standing seam metal gable roof. The symmetrical facade is laid in Flemish bond and centers on a round-arched entrance with engaged Ionic columns, sidelights and a stone surround, with a Palladian window above. Inside, a central hall holds original doors, fluted woodwork and a staircase with slender balusters and scrolled risers. Dr. Nathaniel Fuller, an early Licking County physician, bought the property in 1824 and built the house soon after. Valentine Alsdorf, a farmer who became a grain dealer and railroad forwarding merchant, acquired it in 1857, and members of his family held it for much of the following decades. The house was vacant and deteriorated before a recent rehabilitation. It was listed for its architecture, as one of very few surviving 1820s buildings in the Utica area and a sign of the village's early prosperity and refined craftsmanship.","period_of_significance":"c. 1826","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Republic, Federal; Other: I-House","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Vacant and badly deteriorated before its recent purchase and rehabilitation; currently used as a single dwelling.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.420951-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/91000304.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/91000304/7f9c3032a6-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/91000304/7f9c3032a6-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fuller_House_in_Utica,_front_and_southern_side.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fuller_House_in_Utica,_front_and_southern_side.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71989672","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138472805"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/licking-county/fuller-house-91000304/"}
