Making New History.
The Bourgholtzer House, located at 611 Court Street in Portsmouth, Ohio, is across from the Scioto County Court House and was built sometime between 1849 and 1851. Up until thirteen years ago, it was the only structure still lived in by the descendants of the original owners.
It is a two story brick Federal style house. The brick pattern is common bond, a pattern which has five rows laid in a running bond pattern and the fifth turned end to end. The roof is a gable style and metal material. The house is 15 feet by 35 feet. There is a plain cornice and frieze, windows are six lite over six lite (panes). They have stone lentils and stone sills.
The Bourghoultzer residents were 19th Century vaudeville performers, one of whom recently lived in the house with his musician grandson. The family has a long history if performing talent such as Frank Bourghoultzer, who was a nephew of the residents and the very first NBC News White House correspondent. A sister-in-law sang in the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.
