It has housed the college's Black Student Union since the mid-1970s. The form does not give an explicit criterion or period of significance.","narrative":"This two-story bungalow at 120 Hedges Street on the Heidelberg College campus in Tiffin, Ohio, was apparently built in the 1920s as a home for the college custodian. It is wood frame with clapboard and shingle walls, a slate gable roof, a cut stone foundation and a square plan. A porch on the south side is reached by concrete steps, enclosed by a low concrete wall, and shaded by the main roof on square wood columns. Matching shed dormers face north and south, and most windows are double-hung one-over-one units. City directories list it as a separate address around 1948, and by 1961 it was rented to the principal of the College Hill School. Since the mid-1970s it has served as headquarters of the college's Black Student Union. It sits north of Rock Creek along a private drive, and was included among campus properties that reflect the college's development since 1850.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Bungalow","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as the Black Student Union Center; exterior condition listed as fair.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.296143-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79002780.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986144","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Student_Union_Center","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q55887811"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/seneca-county/black-student-union-center-79002780/"}
