Hull, Patrick, House
Why it's listed
Built in 1837 by housebuilder and lumberman Henry Bever, this Greek Revival house in Oneida, Carroll County, Ohio, was home to Patrick Hull, who came from New York State with his brother George in 1834 and named the settlement after their home county. The five-bay, gable-end front has a central entry with sidelights and transom, fluted Doric columns, a raking cornice, heavy entablature, gable-end returns and pilastered corner boards. A porch added around 1900 and a 19th-century rear addition are among the changes. The Hulls and Bever lobbied to route the Sandy-Beaver Canal through Oneida and built their houses near it, hoping for a commercial boom. The canal proved unusable because of shifting soil, and the boom never came. The house is valued as an example of the dwellings carpenter-craftsmen built for frontier village leaders, combining ambition with practicality. George Hull's more modest house also survives in Oneida.
Significance in brief: The nomination argues the house is an example of the dwellings local 19th-century carpenter-craftsmen built for frontier village leaders. Its "embellished pragmatism" reflects how settlers' dreams were tempered by the realities of early Ohio. It is tied to Patrick Hull's failed attempt to make Oneida a canal town on the Sandy-Beaver Canal.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary for a privately owned home: it does not by itself restrict what an owner may do with their own money, and it does not require public access. Restrictions come from local landmark or historic-district ordinances, which are separate (how they differ).
Owner-occupied houses are not eligible for the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit, which applies to income-producing buildings, but many states offer credits for homeowners. Listing also opens the door to preservation easements and to buying a plaque. Start with what listing means for homeowners, renovating a listed house and selling one.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
