It is significant under Criterion C for a Tri-Gabled-Ell farmhouse and a Raised Bank Barn, both building types identified in the valley's agricultural multiple property documentation. The layout also fits a New York-Boston Fluid Milk farmstead type.","narrative":"Nathaniel Point Farm is a 3.1-acre farmstead along Akron-Peninsula Road in Boston Township, Summit County, Ohio, now within Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area. The road divides the property. On one side stands a two-story, wood balloon-frame house built in 1876 in the Tri-Gabled-Ell form, with Queen Anne-influenced details and a wrap-around porch with turned spindle posts and brackets. A shed, a garage, a well cap, a water pump, a flagstone walkway and two sandstone foundation remnants complete the house side. Across the road is a 40 by 60 foot raised bank barn dated to 1877, with a sandstone foundation and an earthen ramp to the threshing floor, beside a cultivated field. The property was listed for its link to valley farming, including dairying and grain production after the Civil War, and for house and barn types that were common in the region. The farmstead's arrangement resembles a New York-Boston Fluid Milk farmstead. Its period of significance runs from 1857 to 1939.","period_of_significance":"1857-1939","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Late \"Folk\" Victorian; Tri-gabled Ell, a vernacular interpretation of Queen Anne","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Current use is listed as office and agriculture; recent stabilization work added metal roofing to the shed, garage and barn.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:07.031286-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/99001084.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/99001084/5e534182c5-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/99001084/5e534182c5-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"National Park Service","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nathaniel_Point_House_NPS.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">National Park Service</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nathaniel_Point_House_NPS.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"85001123","name":"Valley Railway Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/ohio/valley-railway-historic-district-85001123/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986224","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q100489617"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/summit-county/point-nathaniel-farm-99001084/"}
