Coffman, Fletcher, House
Why it's listed
Built in 1865, this stone house sits on Coffman Road near Post Road in Washington Township, near Dublin in Franklin County, Ohio. It was recorded in a survey of the township's historic resources as an early farm building, and the surrounding land is still farmed. The house has cut stone foundation and wall material, a hip roof of slate, a three-bay front, and a residential use. The survey notes the stone lintels and sills, original double-hung sash, and a front door that may be a later addition. It stands on a small terrace above a swampy pond, with large trees around the house and four outbuildings behind it. Both interior and exterior are described as in good condition. The property was included in a multiple-property group of Washington Township resources, and its recognition rests on its age, its stone construction, and its continuing link to agricultural use of the land.
Significance in brief: The inventory form identifies it as an early farm building, with the surrounding land still farmed. It was listed as part of a multiple-property group of Washington Township historic resources. The form gives little supporting discussion 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.
