(See Attachment F) The T.J. & Sarah Bull House, although petite, has a stalwart south on the parcel. (See Photos 55-60, Attachment H) The T. J. & Sarah Bull House, built in ca. 1852, is a 1½ story common bond brick vernacular style residence with a 3-bay wide gable front axis and central recessed porch. The house, nearly square in plan and set on a stone foundation, has Greek Revival proportions and stylistic elements including a wide plain poplar wood entablature on all sides of the building.

Other Greek Revival characteristics include the symmetry of the design, the shallow-pitched gable roof, and the cornice on the gable ends with returns. double hung with operable louvered wood shutters. All north and west windows have plain stone lug sills with the exception of two rear first floor windows. The window on the east side of the back was converted to an entry to the 1980s hyphen addition and the window on the west side of the back was infilled with brick, presumably when a porch was added (porches are illustrated on the Sanborn Maps from 1893 forward. The extant porch was added ca. 1905). (See photos 1-2, 7, 11a, 11c, 11d, 1le) The T. J. & Sarah Bull House has a recessed centered single door front entry with 3-light sidelights with stoop and section of slate sidewalk.

(See photos 1-6) In addition, there is a single west side doorway with a 3-light transom and a rear (south) single doorway. All exterior doors were replaced ca. 1987, Many of the wood components in the recessed porch and front entry appear to have been replaced when the house was rehabilitated ca. 1986. Alterations to the recessed porch include the removal of plaster from the brick walls, and the addition of new wood tongue & groove ceiling, flooring, baseboards and cornice within the recess. An older wood floor is visible beneath the new flooring. Physical evidence (8-86) however the dimensions of the original side and rear openings are unaltered.

(See Photos 2-6) The original front door opening dimensions have been retained.

(The original front door, cut down and adaptively used as an entry door to the basement from the garage, was measured, original dimensions were calculated and then compared Although the porch and entry have been altered, the 1½ story gable front façade maintains the defining characteristics of this unusual house type, including a recessed porch flanked by windows, centered single entry, symmetrical fenestration and Greek Revival elements including the dominant wood entablature with cornice and returns and formal, but understated porch surround with square wood pilasters, columns the addition of a bracketed gabled porch at the side door, shed roof dormers with exposed rafters centered on each side elevation, and a frame one-story rear screened porch.

Sanborn Maps indicate that a single story porch had been attached to the rear since at least 1893, however the configuration of the existing porch first shows up on the 1907 map. Windows in the dormers were 1/1 light double hung and photos 54, 11c, 11d, 31, 32) Regarding typical historical development of Greek Revival houses "while almost no true Greek Revival houses originally had dormers, most surviving examples in Gates Mills have to preserve the original symmetry and have windows and trim details which are compatable [sic] with the original design."

The addition is 704 square feet and the one-story hyphen attaching it to the house is 278 square feet. The garage addition is covered in modern wood siding with a batten detail and has a gable front axis that echoes the roof pitch of the house. The addition has a much deeper setback than the house, and is distanced from the house by the one-story hyphen. It sits out approximately 6' from the brick walls of the house where it runs parallel along the rear of the east elevation in front of the hyphen. Use of the hyphen provides a more subtle transition between the old and the new and minimized the extent to which the house was altered to accommodate the addition.

Original windows on this east elevation are intact, including the one 6/6 window in the rear half of the elevation in spite of the fact that the view out this window is obscured by the addition. (See photos 26, 27) An original window on the south elevation was converted to a door accessing the hyphen.(See photos 28-30) The addition, although large, minimally impacts the viewshed toward the house and appears to be a separate structure except from Bustle Street to the southeast. An exterior chimney covered in modern wood siding and small wood deck on the south elevation were also added at this time. The early twentieth century rear porch was retained.

J. & Sarah Bull House Ashland County, Ohio Narrative Statement of Significance The T.J. and Sarah Bull House meets Criterion A for its association with early settlement patterns in Loudonville, Ohio and Criterion C as a vernacular interpretation of the distyle in antis Greek Revival style in Ohio. The house is associated with the Bull family. Brothers, Thomas Jefferson and George W. Bull, were both involved with the growth of Loudonville. For nearly half a century T.J.

Bull held an important position in the early development of Loudonville. A prosperous businessman, landowner, and attorney, Bull was instrumental in Loudonville's growth during the period from 1852-1862 when he lived in the house. His widow Sarah lived in the house until 1893. Built by T.J. Bull in 1852, the nominated house is the last extant remnant of the Bull family from this early settlement period Criterion A Stephen Butler arrived in 1810 and was the first settler in the area that was to become Loudonville. James Loudon Priest migrated from Massachusetts and founded Loudonville in 1814. He surveyed the lots for the new village and donated land for a centrally located green and a cemetery outside the village limits. In addition to Butler and Priest other early settlers included the Davidson, Chappell, Greenlee, Hendrickson, Odell, Oram, and Chilcote families.

Within the first few years of platting, additional families settled in Loudonville, including members of the Bull family. Initial growth for the new community was slow, but by 1821 Loudonville was established as a stagecoach stop on the line between Columbus and Canton, which helped to bring new pioneers and businesses to the area. Originally located in Richland County, Loudonville was incorporated into Ashland County when population, although it remained a rural village and the increase was not rapid. The population doubled the population had reached 2000. As laid out by Priest, the village had three east-west streets with four cross streets. Main Street was the north-south street with Wood, Water, Spring Streets paralleling it. One hundred and twenty-three lots were laid out.

The central 12 lots were dedicated as a public square and set aside with the unrealized hope that the community would become a county seat and the courthouse would be built on this square.

& Sarah Bull House Ashland County, Ohio Local history maintains that an early schoolhouse was located on the southwest quarter of the central square from c.1819-c.1847. It is not illustrated on any nineteenth century maps. The earliest map showing buildings in the village dates to 1861. (Attachment B) At this time, three residences, including the T.J. and Sarah Bull House, face onto the village green in addition to the Baptist Church built in 1841. The church was replaced by another in 1882. The commercial center of the village was concentrated along Main St. west of the square. Two commercial buildings, a tavern and a wagon maker, also abutted the square, but were oriented to W. Main St. The c.1852 T.J. and Sarah Bull House is the only building James Priest's heirs attempted to reclaim the public square in 1860 as their rightful property.

They persisted in attempts through the mid-1860s going so far as to plow the square for corn in 1865. A series of court cases were held up through 1870 to determine ownership of the square. The title of the public square was granted to the village, with the restriction that the village could not lease or construct any An 1874 map of Loudonville indicates the growth of construction since the 1861 map, particularly around the public square. (Attachment C) Although the square remained free of buildings, it had become a dumping ground for debris from construction sites. A beautification effort was made in 1888, spurred by the editor of the Loudonville Democrat. Another beautification project was undertaken in 1916-17 when a decorative fountain was installed. The fountain is still present and sits directly north of the T.J. and Sarah Bull House.

Since construction of the fountain, a war memorial was built in another quadrant and a c. 1840 log structure was moved to the square in 1963 and placed on a non-permanent foundation. Bull Family History: Hezekiah Bull left Hartford, Connecticut for Ohio in ca.1816. Bull was a ship owner with vessels sailing the seas in the West India trade. He, along with his teenage son, George W., visited the newly platted village of Loudonville in ca. 1818, but decided not to settle there as it was not sufficiently developed for his taste. Instead Hezekiah settled his family in the Canton area. George, however, was not ready to leave ocean life behind and returned to the east coast to continue working in the shipping industry. George W. Bull returned to Loudonville in 1821, at the age of 22, to settle there.

By this time he had tired of the dangers of ocean life and found that the community had grown and showed signs of a promising future. Additionally, his older sister, Esther Anna (Bull) Skinner, was living in Loudonville where she had relocated with her husband in 1816. Esther Anna had married Alexander Skinner in 1815. Skinner was also from Hartford and came west around the same time as the Bulls.

He married Mary Farquher the following year in 1822 and began establishing a farmstead, but quickly realized a more pressing need to ship surplus agricultural products and lumber down the difficult Blackfork to the Walhonding River to the Muskingum then Ohio and finally to the Mississippi River where he went all the way to New Orleans. George made several such river journeys through the 1820s bringing profit not only to himself, but also the neighboring farmers of Loudonville.

Once retiring from river trade excursions in 1832, George Bull focused on further developing his farm By the 1850 Agriculture Census, he had the second largest amount of tilled acreage (140), second highest George died in 1852. His heirs continued to operate the farm at a successful pace, with the 1860 Agriculture Census showing the farm as having the second highest value in the township ($8000). Five years younger than his brother George, Thomas Jefferson Bull came to Ohio with his parents from Connecticut at the age of 11. He attended school in Wooster. He arrived in Loudonville in 1821, at the age of 17, the same year as his brother. Upon his arrival he acquired his brother-in-law's mill. Alexander Skinner died in 1821 and it is possible that his newly widowed sister, Esther, requested his help. Thomas was married in June 1827 to Sarah Ann Hibbard.

Family records indicate he was previously married Despite indications from historic records that he was frequently delinquent with taxes, Thomas J. Bull Loudonville shows that T.J. Bull operated both a flour mill and a sawmill. He purchased the flour mill, located a half mile north of Loudonville, from Nathaniel Haskell in 1826. Interestingly, his sister Esther had married Haskell in 1823, after the death of her first husband advertisement in the Ashland Times promoted Bull as an attorney-at-law. In 1854 he acquired the Loudonville map indicates his foundry three blocks from the public square. At the time of his death in square and S. Market Street bordered the lots.

Kendal was a small Quaker settlement that both his father and brother-in-law, Alexander Skinner, lived in briefly when first arriving in the Ohio territory from Connecticut. The exact nature or relationship of the Charity School with T.J. is not known, but it forced his heirs to sell off much of his land holdings in the 1860s. The Bulls had five children, one of which died at age 9.

Sarah remarried in 1867 to Joseph Pippitt. Elizabeth (known as Libba) Bull, the daughter of T.J. and Sarah, married Joseph's son Harry Pippitt in 1869. Libba and Harry Pippitt continued to live in the house until 1888 when they moved to a new house in town. This house is still standing at the corner of Mt. Vernon and Main Streets. The Bull House remained in Sarah's ownership until her death in 1893 when it transferred to Libba. Libba sold the House lots became 324, 325, and 326. The only other house standing known to be associated with the Bull family is the John Wheaton Bull House at 430 N. Water Street built in 1873. John is the son of George W. Bull. This house and Libba's represent the second generation of the Bull family in Bull House History- Post 1899: The house was owned by William H. Wirt from 1899 to 1924. Wirt was a prominent physician in Loudonville. Dr.

Wirt began his medical career in Loudonville under Doctors Fuller and Scott. Upon completion of medical college in Chicago, Dr. Wirt returned to Loudonville in 1871. He was active in civic matters including serving on the school board and as chief of the fire department. Following the Wirt family, Mary Stockman owned the house until 1980. The house had several owners from 1980 to the present ownership in 2003. It was briefly used as a doctor's office in the early 1980s and a bed and breakfast in the early 1990s. The T.J. and Sarah Bull House is the only remnant on the public square from the early period of Loudonville's development and settlement. Thomas J. Bull was a prominent member of the community. landholdings, was an attorney, and was elected to serve as a justice of peace in 1850.

George was a prominent farmer and was heavily involved in local politics during the formative years of the community. He served several terms as justice of the peace from 1839-1852.

He also served terms as Hanover Township clerk and treasurer. After Loudonville was shifted to Ashland County in 1846, George was elected to one term each in the Ohio legislature and senate. The 1880 county history said of George W. Bull, "As a citizen, an officer, and a county." (p. 208) Thomas Jefferson Bull was equally influential in the development of Loudonville. Although he was not known as a leading farmer like his brother, he did own several acres of farmland in neighboring Green Township. Where George Bull was concerned with agricultural pursuits, T.J. was focused on business and law in Loudonville. Owning two different mills and a foundry, he contributed to the industrial base ot the community. Additionally, he contributed to the business community as an attorney. T.J.

J. & Sarah Bull House Ashland County, Ohio Although the Greek Revival style in the United States was popular from 1820 to 1860, it can be traced back to Benjamin Latrobe and his 1798 design for the Bank of Pennsylvania. Architectural historians Marcus Whiffen and Frederick Koeper cite this building with its temple front and Ionic columns as the first use of a Greek order in the U.S. (American Architecture Volume I: 1607-1860, p. 134) In 1818 a competition was held for the design of the new Bank of the United States. A requirement that the design be an imitation of Grecian architecture was specified in the competition.

Architectural handbooks facilitated the influence of the Greek Revival style. Leading architects books were widely read. During this same time period expansion into the west, particularly the Northwest Territory, was taking place at a rapid rate. As settlers and pioneers moved westward from the East Coast, they took their customs and architectural traditions with them. This manner called 'Greek Revival' penetrated almost all sections of the country. It moved westward with the advancing frontier and is seen in surprising refinement and beauty in localities which were wilderness but a few years before.

The designers of this period seemed to possess an preserving traditional usages, accepting local building materials, and conforming to climatic The peak popularity for the Greek Revival style in Ohio was c. 1835-1860, beginning almost fifteen years later than in New England and the South. The largest concentration of the style in Ohio can be found in the northeast and north central portions of the state due to its predominant settlement by New Englanders. It is also found intermittently in the central and southern part of the state in communities that were established by settlers from Massachusetts, such as Granville, Worthington, and Marietta. (Hamlin, p.

xvii) (8-86) Criterion C Section number _8 Page 9 of20 The style quickly became popular not only for governmental buildings, but for religious, collegiate, commercial, and residential buildings as well.It was especially popular in the northern New England published numerous handbooks for builders during the early decades of the 19th century. Asher Benjamin and Minard Lafever were two of the foremost proponents of the Greek Revival style and their innate talent for adapting the new architectural fashion to the requirements of the region, NPS Form 10-800-4 OMB Approval No. 1034-0078 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Section number 8 Page 10 of 20 T. J. & Sarah Bull House Ashland County, Ohio Within this framework there are also regional variations of Greek Revival in Ohio.

It is pertinant (sic) to this discussion to make special reference to differences in the Greek Revival style as it exists throughout the State. One's initial impression is that this ubiquitous, late phase of the Classic Revival left a greater imprint upon the northern counties than upon those in the south. However, considering the fine Greek heritage at Chillicothe, Lebanon, Lancaster and Dayton (the Courthouse), we are not prepared to press this point. Nonetheless, it is probably true that there is a considerably greater incidence of Greek forms in the Western Reserve, where white frame buildings with some key elements of the style, and vernacular expressions that may only have one or two features of the style. Greek Revival style buildings can be found in the countryside, particularly the wood frame churches and farmhouses of the northeast, as well as in village or urban settings.

Campen further identifies that Greek Revival buildings in Ohio's southern region are generally constructed of brick and stone versus the white frame buildings in the north. Additionally, the southern examples are often more ostentatious reflecting a more gracious lifestyle. They also tend to have the typical temple front whereas in the north it is common to find Greek Revival houses with the lateral axis oriented to the road placing the entrance on the sidewall rather than the gable end with a temple front. This northern example is typically of one-and-one-half stories and known as a New England One and a Upright and Wing building type. This building type has a two-story gable end with smaller one-story flanking wings, which still gives the building an overall lateral orientation and less of a temple front emphasis.

Campen summarizes that, "there can be no question but that the Greek style is found in a The first published illustrations of the Greek orders in the U.S. were contained in architect John Haviland's 1818 book The Builders' Assistant. A variation on the standard temple front is one where the columns are in antis. "One temple front style is called the distyle in antis, because it has a portico of two called antae and because the two columns (distyle) are placed between them, they are said to be in antis." (Reynolds, p. 108) With the in antis design the entrance could be placed between the columns or recessed behind them. Haviland also explained that in the Greek tradition the capitals of the columns and antae would be different, in the Roman examples the capitals would be the same.

When the temple front configuration is found in northern Ohio, it is normally of the greater variety of plans and configurations in the north than below the National Pike."

Examples of Greek Revival architecture throughout the state include academic high style expressions, NPS Form 10-800-4 OMB Approval No. 1034-0078 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Section number 8 Page 11 of 20 T. J.& Sarah Bull House Ashland County, Ohio The in antis temple front was used on residences and government buildings, but was most popular for churches.

In this Greek Revival variation for churches the orders could be interchanged. The architectural partnership of Ithiel Town and Alexander Jackson Davis are credited with first using the motif in their Carmine Street Presbyterian Church in New York. Minard Lafever, a principal architect and author of the Greek Revival style, was a fan of the distyle in antis variation. Discussing Grecian door fronts in his 1828 publication The Young Builder's General Instructor, Lafever stated, "The deep recess of the door and lights, together with the contrast between the columns and pilasters, renders it one of the most beautiful designs in architecture." (p.43) He designed several churches in New York in the 1830s and 1840s using the distyle in antis variation. Located in Ashland County the Bull House is just outside the Western Reserve, the heaviest concentration of Greek Revival in Ohio.

Ashland County was part of the 1799-1804 Congress Lands. The Bull House is a simplified expression of the Greek Revival style. Its symmetrical gable end axis with interpretation of the distyle in antis temple front. The Bull House is atypical in that it is constructed of brick may have been a reflection of the prominence of Bull or the result of availability of materials that took precedence over concern for adhering to the typical Greek Revival fashion in the region. Although definitions of in antis call for columns rather than pilasters, the use of distyle pilasters in the Bull House illustrate the flexibility of the style to local adaptations.

Describing the Greek Revival architecture of Gates Mills in the nearby Western Reserve, the Historic Resources of Gates Mills MPD notes that, The Greek Revival style has dominated the character of Gates Mills since Holsey Gates' sawmill opened in 1826, making possible the construction of frame clapboard buildings from the abundant supplies of timber nearby. The majority of these buildings are simple story-and-a-half farmhouses which might be considered vernacular buildings, except that most of them have massive cornices with returns and door surrounds featuring pilasters and entablatures, all hallmarks of the Greek This simplified expression of the Greek Revival identified as part of Gates Mills settlement era, c.1820- 1870, is similar to that expressed by the T.J.

J. & Sarah Bull House Ashland County, Ohio One other building featuring the distyle in antis temple front has been listed in the National Register, the First Presbyterian Church of Wapakoneta, listed 1984. Like the Bull House it has projecting wall sections rather than pilasters that frame the central columns.

Although significantly altered, the distyle in antis design of the church and the rarity of the design feature in west-central Ohio established its eligibility under Criterion C. The Spread Eagle Tavern located in Butler County and listed in the National Register (NK 2003, 03001100) has a recessed distyle in antis porch. Although the recessed porch has a pedimented gable above it, the distyle in antis feature appears to be on a lateral wall rather than having the temple front configuration of the Bull House or First Presbyterian Church of Wapakoneta. It was listed for its representation of Jeffersonian-inspired classicism. A statewide search of the Ohio Historic Inventory database yielded no other similar examples of mid- nineteenth century buildings with the distyle in antis feature (1 ½ story, gable front, central recessed porch).

In addition, no other houses with the distyle in antis feature were observed during a windshield survey of neighboring villages (Mohicanville, McKay, Lucas, Perrysville) in Ashland and Richland Frary archives resulted in only one image of a similar house type. Located in Beverly, Washington County, it was of frame construction. (Attachment D) Like most vernacular interpretations of a more pure expression of high style architecture, it is not known where the design for the Bull House came from. Architectural how-to handbooks for designers and craftsmen had been in circulation in the United States since at least the 1810s. These handbooks were focused on the correct manner in which to craft the architectural language of the Greeks and Romans. Beginning in the 1830s, with Alexander Jackson Davis' book Rural Residences, and his subsequent collaborations with Andrew J.

Downing, architectural pattern books became popular in the U.S. These In his 1937 dissertation, An Investigation of the Sources of Early ArchitecturalDesign in Ohio, Frank Roos discusses the importance of the nineteenth century handbooks in influencing architectural designs as settlers moved into the western regions. Roos asserts that rarely did a builder copy designs verbatim from the handbooks. "The usual method of use was to take such details from one or more books as is Greek Revival in style, in terms of size, scale, and massing it has more in common with the rural designs that Davis and Downing promoted than it does with the large, more reverent expressions of the Greek Revival that were promoted by Lafever, Haviland, and others in earlier publications.

Davis in particular thought that the Greek temple would please the fancy of the builder." (p.104) The Bull House seems to fit this observation. Although it NPS Form 10-800-4 OMB Approval No. 1034-0078 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number _9 Page 13 of 20 T. J. & Sarah Bull House Ashland County, Ohio Roos further elaborates that the more common designer, craftsman, or builder adapting architectural styles for unsettled territories had as an important role to play in furthering architectural design as the more educated architects.

"As we have indicated, the prime users of the handbooks were not the sophisticates, such as Bulfinch, Jefferson, and Latrobe, but the carpenter-architects who had not the benefit of European travel, or of such limited training as was then available to architects... The work of these anonymous men really forms the bulk of our architectural monuments." (p. 103) Research to date indicates that the Bull House is distinctive as a local expression of the distyle in antis variant of the Greek Revival style in Ohio. It meets Criterion C as an intact local example of the Greek Revival style. As the oldest extant house in Loudonville, it illustrates an era of early settlement and development within the village. The T.J. and Sarah Bull House has a presence on the public square that reflects a sense of time and place. (8-86) NPS Form 10-800-4 OMB Approval No.
