Voris, Jr. Residence is a vernacular Greek Revival one-and-a-half story, frame single- family dwelling that dates from the early 1840s.

It was updated several times, beginning with the addition of a Victorian porch across the west elevation in the late 1g century (later removed); and in the mid-1920s, the building was expanded when dormers were introduced to increase the habitable space on the second floor resulting in the building's current Greek Revival/Colonial Revival appearance. The porch on the west elevation, constructed in 2002, (where an earlier entrance had already been removed) continues the Greek Revival/Colonial Revival aesthetic. The building is located in Hammond's Corners in Bath Township, Summit Co., Ohio, within the Western Reserve to reflect an evolution of architectural taste and functional changes in residential architecture. It was early-mid 20h centuries. The building is located on a portion of Lot #26, which measures approximately 220' by 330'.

The house was designed and built in Hammond's Corners, one of the township's hamlet settlements. Hammond's Corners is a cluster of buildings at the intersection of Cleveland-Massillon Road (north/south) and Ira Road (east/west). The house is located on a landscaped lot of nearly 2 acres. A The one-and-a-half-story residence was constructed in a vernacular Greek Revival style known in this No photos exist of the house as it was originally built, however, it is clear that it had a simple sandstone foundation with clapboard siding. The north elevation, which faces Ira Road, is the portion of the house that still clearly retains its original Greek Revival elements.(photo # 1) This elevation measures three bays with a central profiled door surround, carved corner blocks and simple entablature. The wood door features two vertical panels, also typical of the Greek Revival style.

The Voris Residence is being nominated under Criterion A as representative of the early Western building's location in Hammond's Corners, reflects its association with the early settlement patterns of dispersed farms and small clusters of mixed uses, which persisted from the period of settlement until the late 1950s. The change in architectural style from Greek Revival to Colonial Revival reflects changes in architectural tastes and the evolution of buildings over time. The nominated property was built in the early 1840s in a vernacular Greek Revival style, which was found throughout the township during the first half of the 19th century. These homes were typically constructed of wood and were one to one-and-a-half stories in height, with wide unornamented floor livable); entrances with Greek Revival detailing including pilasters, fluted surrounds, transoms, and/or sidelights.
