Boles, E., Cottage
Why it's listed
This small frame house at 5350 Hayden Run Road, near its junction with Wilcox Road in the Dublin area of Washington Township, was built around 1870 as a residence and is still used as one. It rises one and a half stories under a gable roof, with walls of shingle and clapboard on the rear gable. The front gable is described as very large, with decorative bargeboards, and the windows are six-over-six. A lean-to addition and a porch sit on the west side, and a small frame porch is noted at the rear. The lot slopes from the road toward a wooded back yard, with trees on three sides, and lies close to Interstate 270. The property was recorded in a Washington Township historic resources survey that classed it as 19th-century architecture. Its exterior is reported as good. Surviving original details and its place in the township's early building stock appear to be the basis for its listing.
Significance in brief: The inventory classifies it under 19th-century architecture and records its original form and details, including shingle walls, a gable roof, and decorative bargeboards. It was documented in a Washington Township historic resources survey. The text gives no detailed statement of significance.

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.
