Gregg House
Why it's listed
This two-story frame house in Huntington Township, Lorain County, Ohio, dates to about 1840 and reflects the Greek Revival style. It sits on the west side of Route 58, across from the Huntington Church. Built on a sandstone foundation, it has clapboard siding, a gable roof with asphalt shingles, a T-shaped plan and a small wing extending to the rear. The elaborate main entrance and Greek fretwork in the small second-floor windows in the entablature set it apart. It closely resembles the nearby Clark House, though it is simpler in design. The house was moved to its present site some time ago. P.A. Gregg owned it in 1874, and little else is known of its origins; it may have been built by Reull Lang, who lived across the street. A large barn and other outbuildings stand to the rear, and the house, outbuildings and five acres of land were included in the listing. It remains in residential use and in good condition.
Significance in brief: The house is distinguished by an elaborate main entrance and Greek fretwork in the small second-floor windows within the entablature. It is very similar to the Clark House to the north but simpler. It is part of a group of Greek Revival resources along the Wellington-Huntington Road.

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.
