Why it's listed
Standing at 35 S. High Street in Dublin, Ohio, this two-story house is a simple L-shaped residence with stone foundations and masonry and stucco walls under a gabled composition roof. An octagonal projecting bay and a box cornice with returns are its main architectural features. Additions have been made on the north side and at the rear. The house is dated to about 1830, and an 1872 map shows the land belonging to J.C. Butler, which gives the property its historic name. It sits on a landscaped corner lot along one of Dublin's main thoroughfares and remains in residential use, with its interior and exterior both recorded as in good condition. The survey describes it as an example of late nineteenth century vernacular architecture. It was documented as part of a group of historic resources in Washington Township, and the local historical society served as the contact for the inventory.
Significance in brief: The nomination presents the house as an example of late nineteenth century vernacular architecture. It notes that the land was owned by J.C. Butler in 1872, and it sits within Dublin's historic district area on a major thoroughfare.

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.
