It was built by the Nimocks family and is part of a partial inventory of historic resources along the Wellington-Huntington Road. The form gives little explicit argument for significance beyond its architecture and ownership history.","narrative":"This two-story Greek Revival house was built around 1850 on the east side of Route 58, roughly a third of a mile south of Route 162 in Huntington Township, Lorain County. It is a wood-frame building on a sandstone foundation, with a gable roof and a T-shaped plan. Massive cornices and corner pilasters accent the exterior, and a porch on the south end rests on square columns beneath an elaborate cornice with dentil courses. Inside, original wainscoting and woodwork remain in most rooms, though the living room has been remodeled. The house had no fireplaces, yet it once had five chimneys, which a later owner removed. The Nimocks family built the house and lived there many years before selling it to a family that stayed about thirty years. The property includes a large lawn with shade trees, barns and other outbuildings, and five acres. It is part of a survey of Greek Revival buildings along the Wellington-Huntington Road.","period_of_significance":"circa 1850","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a residence; interior and exterior condition listed as good.
