Barney Kelley House
Barney Kelley House

The Barney Kelley House is a historic residence in Washington Court House, Ohio, United States. Built amid a period of commercial prosperity for the city, it was home to some of the area's leading businessmen for many decades. Born in 1834 in Ireland, Barney Kelley immigrated to the United States and moved to Washington Court House in the 1860s. At this time, the city was growing rapidly due to improved transportation: multiple railroads served the city, making it a fine site for commerce. Kelley soon opened a combined saloon and general store on East Main Street, selling everything from food to cutlery.: 410  In 1875, he arranged for the construction of the present house; and at this address he lived until selling it to Thomas Craig in 1896. Craig and his family, the owners of the city's Craig Brothers Department Store, owned the house until 1975.: 410 The Kelley House is a brick building with a stone foundation, an asphalt roof, and various additional elements of stone. Designed and built by L.C. and B.C. Coffman and by Amos Cooke, it is one of several Italianate houses in the city, but none of the others feature the Kelley House's most prominent component. Some of its typical Italianate features include the ornamental frieze, the cornice supported by pairs of brackets, the keystones and architraves on the rounded arched windows, and the quoins. Setting the house apart from the other Italianate residences is its unusual circular front dormer window,: 410  set in a semicircular extension of the facade. The side of the house is divided into two bays and the front into three, with the main entrance in the middle; a porch is placed across the full width of the facade. Washington Court House is not the only city in the region in which circular dormer windows are rare; the Doan House is the only such residence with such a window in Wilmington to the southeast.: 149 In 1979, the Kelley House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. One of several houses in the city with this distinction, it was listed both because it was the home of a prominent local citizen and because of its architecture.

Jacob Light House
Jacob Light House

The Jacob Light House is a historic residence in the city of Washington Court House, Ohio, United States. Once home to a prominent local craftsman, it has been designated a historic site as a well-preserved example of the Italianate style of architecture. With the coming of multiple railroad lines, Washington Court House became an increasingly important center of commerce in the third quarter of the nineteenth century. Among those attracted to the city was Jacob Light, a tailor who had established himself as a regional merchant. Light purchased from Mills Gardner a sizeable lot south of the city's downtown on 10 May 1875, and by the beginning of June, he had commenced the construction of the present house. Built of brick on a stone foundation and covered with a slate roof, the L-shaped house is a distinctive example of the Italianate style. Among its prominent architectural components are the shallow hip roof, the front porch and its handcarven support beams, the shutters and pediments of the windows, and the brackets supporting the cornice. Particularly significant are the porch supports, which demonstrate the extent to which local woodcarving had progressed during the nineteenth century.After sixty-one years of ownership, Jacob Light's family sold the house in 1936. Later owners preserved the house with few changes; more than fifty years later, it remained a good example of the Italianate style, of which just twenty other houses remained in the city by the late 1980s. In early 1988, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture.
