Orange Street in Chagrin Falls, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, built in 1873 for local merchant and businessman Joseph Stoneman.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it the most fully developed Victorian house in Chagrin Falls and a sign of the village's Victorian prosperity. It is a well-preserved Italianate building made of bricks from Stoneman's own brickyard. It is also tied to the village's early industrial growth.","narrative":"Built in 1873 at 18 E. Orange Street in Chagrin Falls, this Italianate house was the residence of Joseph Stoneman, a prominent local merchant and businessman. It is T-shaped, two stories tall, with a projecting three-bay front, a low hipped roof and a wooden bracketed cornice. The walls are locally made brick and river stone, and the bricks came from Stoneman's own brickyard in the village, which he financed and his nephew Boss Hutchings operated. Double front doors with a glass fan, a walnut banister and softwood floors survive. Stoneman was also part-owner of a hardware store that still stands behind the property. The house is regarded as the most fully developed Victorian house in the village and reflects the prosperity of a town founded in 1833 around the water power of the Chagrin River. The exterior has changed little, and the brick stable has become an apartment and garage.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (1873)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is listed as excellent and largely unaltered.
