The Eugene Jacobs House is a residential building located at 520 North Adams Street in Owosso, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. [1]
This house was constructed around 1856 by Eugene Jacobs. [2]
The Eugene Jacobs House is unique in the area for its architectural qualities. The structure is basically a simple wood-framed two-story home clad with clapboard. The core design is a Greek Revival style, featuring simple window placement, an unadorned corniceline, and broad fasica boards common to the style. However, the house was repeatedly "modernized" in subsequent years, and displays elements of Italianate, Stick, Queen Anne, Eastlake, Second Renaissance Revival, and Georgian Revival styles in addition to the original Greek Revival. These elements include a Palladian-inspired window in the gable end, jig-sawed detailing on the porch columns, S-scrolled brackets in the arcade's spandrels, and an ornate balustrade on the porch roofline.

The William Resor House is a historic residence on Greendale Avenue in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1843, this three-story building is distinguished by architectural elements such as a mansard roof, third-story dormer windows, and a large wrap-around verandah porch. The front of the house is a simple square, but its facade is broken up by the roofline of the porch, which includes a gazebo with a dome and cast iron decorations. These elements are newer than the rest of the house, having been added in the 1890s at the same time as a relocation, at which time the house was turned to face Greendale Avenue. When built, the house was a simple box in the Greek Revival style, and it assumed its present Second Empire appearance only after an intermediate period in which the style was a generic Victorian. The previous occupant of the site had been a summer cottage.
