Ashby. It sits with a secondary structure on the lot.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a good local example of a Craftsman style home with Prairie School influence, meeting Criterion C for architecture. Prairie features include the horizontal stone water table, ribbons of stone and brick, stone coping, and art glass similar to Frank Lloyd Wright's designs. Its exterior has been restored rather than altered.","narrative":"Built in 1914-1915 on West Main Street in Marion, Illinois, this two-story brick house was designed by architect George W. Ashby for Ed M. and Lydia Stotlar. It blends Craftsman and Prairie School design. Craftsman traits include a street-facing gable, wide eaves with exposed rafter tails, and grouped windows. Prairie School features include a stone water table, horizontal bands of stone and brick, stone-capped brick walls, and projecting porches. The green glazed clay roof tile came from Lima, Ohio. Inside, oak woodwork, coffered ceilings, pocket doors, and eucalyptus-pattern art glass reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright's work remain. The house sits on a former main route through the county, and the exterior has been restored rather than altered, though some porch brickwork was rebuilt after freeze damage. It was listed for its architecture, as a good local example of Craftsman style with Prairie School influence, with a period of significance of 1914-1915.","period_of_significance":"1914-1915","architect_builder":"George W.
