It is also tied to David B. Kittinger, a Civil War veteran of the 29th Ohio Volunteer Infantry who became a wagon maker in Hammond's Corners. It is part of a Bath Township multiple-resource group.","narrative":"This house on Cleveland-Massillon Road in Bath Township, Summit County, dates to about 1830 and is an early example of Greek Revival design. It is a one-and-a-half-story frame building of post-and-beam construction on a stone foundation, with a gable roof, siding, an L-shaped plan and a three-bay front. Its notable features include a wide frieze, partial gable returns and a symmetrical facade, with square attic windows above a central entrance flanked by two six-over-six windows. The roof over the entrance and the side wing were added later. Orrin Col owned the property in 1856. By 1874 it belonged to David B. Kittinger, who had served three years in the 29th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. After his discharge he moved to Hammond's Corners and worked as a wagon maker, either with or in competition with Clem Jagger. The house remains a residence, though it now faces a busy road across from newer commercial construction.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still used as a residence; condition listed as fair on the exterior.
