Walter McClymonds and designed by Cleveland architect Charles F. Schweinfurth. It is now the clubhouse of the Massillon Woman's Club.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is one of the best preserved of the lavish, large stone mansions built by successful Ohio businessmen in the late 19th century. It is considered by many to be Schweinfurth's most distinguished work, and it retains its original appearance, much original furniture and Tiffany glass features.","narrative":"Five Oaks is a massive three-story mansion of rock-faced stone with a steep red slate roof, standing at 210 Fourth Street N.E. in Massillon, Ohio. Construction began in 1892 for J. Walter McClymonds, a Civil War veteran, president of Russell & Company and organizer of the Merchant's National Bank of Massillon. Cleveland architect Charles F. Schweinfurth designed it at a cost of $200,000, and it was finished in 1894. Masons carved local Everhard Quarry stone, and woodcarvers produced the ornate interiors, which include Tiffany glass windows and a Tiffany glass dome over the billiard room, a third-floor ballroom, and fireplaces of carved limestone and marble. McClymonds's daughters gave the house to the women of Massillon in 1920, and it now serves as the Massillon Woman's Club. It is valued as one of the best preserved late nineteenth-century stone mansions built by Ohio businessmen, and as a leading work of its architect.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (specific date 1894)","architect_builder":"Charles F.
