Henry as the main house of his 125-acre farm.","why_significant":"It is presented as an outstanding example of a brick winged-temple Greek Revival dwelling, with a pedimented portico, twelve-faceted Doric columns, gable-end brick parapets and a transomed entrance. It is also tied to Henry, a noted local craftsman, and served briefly as the village hall. It has survived in an area largely given over to commercial development.","narrative":"Set well back from Pearl Road in Parma Heights, this brick house follows the Greek Revival winged-temple plan: a two-story central block flanked by smaller gabled wings. A three-bay portico with twelve-faceted Doric columns fronts the main block, and a dentilled cornice, six-over-six windows with stone lintels, and gable-end brick parapets add to its character. Carpenter Robert W. Henry (1811-1900) built it between 1850 and 1857 as the main house of his 125-acre farm, working, according to family records, from published designs. Henry moved to Parma in 1843 and kept farming and doing carpentry until retiring in 1885. In the mid-1950s the house briefly served as the Parma Heights village hall. The exterior remains relatively intact apart from a rear wing enlarged over time, and much original interior woodwork survives. It is valued for its architectural quality, its link to a local craftsman, and its endurance amid commercial development.","period_of_significance":"1850-1857","architect_builder":"Robert W.
