It was subdivided by Carlos Jones and Julius S. Edwards and developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.","why_significant":"The excerpt shows the district as a largely intact middle-class streetcar-era neighborhood of wood frame houses in a range of late 19th and early 20th century styles, laid out on a uniform grid around the Jones Home for Children. The Section 8 statement is not in the provided text, so the stated reasons rest on the architectural and planning description in Section 7. The form reports a very high degree of integrity along the main avenues.","narrative":"This inner-city residential district on Cleveland's west side occupies the former Jones farm, about three miles southwest of downtown. Streets run on a regular grid, with uniform lots forty feet wide and 145 feet deep, sixty-foot streets and narrow rear alleys. The Jones Home for Children, a large Colonial Revival brick building topped by an octagonal cupola, sits at the eastern end and is separately listed. Around it stand mostly wood frame single-family houses from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Colonial Revival is the dominant style, including the hipped-roof Foursquare, and Queen Anne houses, some with octagonal corner towers, are also prominent. Italianate, Tudor Revival, Arts and Crafts, Stick Style and Bungalow examples appear in smaller numbers. Front-gabled two-story houses are the most common type. Apartment buildings, terrace rows, carriage barns, rear houses and a Late Gothic Revival church add variety. Interstate 71, built in the 1960s, removed part of Library Avenue, and a few modern intrusions stand near West 25th Street, but the streets otherwise keep a high degree of integrity.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian (Queen Anne, Italianate); Late 19th/20th Century Revivals (Colonial Revival, Late Gothic Revival)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Most buildings are described as contributing and well preserved, some recently restored.
