It has a rectangular plan, a stone foundation, clapboard siding and a gable roof of seamed metal. Its most striking feature is an elaborate Greek Revival doorway, with pilaster ornament drawn from Asher Benjamin's Practical House Carpenter, which contrasts with the otherwise plain cottage. A newer wing extends to the north, and the windows and interior have been updated. The 1874 Atlas of Lorain County shows Whitney Clark as owner; he also ran a 100-acre farm on adjoining land. The Clark family was among the township's first settlers and held much land nearby. The house closely resembles the Gregg House close by. One outbuilding stands to the west, and the nominated property covers the house and one acre.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a residence; interior and exterior in good condition.
