It holds 22 houses built between the mid-1800s and about 1935.","why_significant":"The district is significant for its architecture and local history. Its houses illustrate the styles favored by Tiffin's rising managerial and financial class, who profited from the industrial boom after the 1888 oil and gas discovery. It includes some of the city's best Gothic Revival, Queen Anne, Italianate and Neo-classical Revival houses, and it was a short-lived elite neighborhood.","narrative":"North Sandusky Street in Tiffin, Ohio, is lined with 22 houses on about nine acres between Hall and Apple Streets, built from the mid-1800s to about 1935. Most remain private residences, while others serve as a college dormitory and as churches. The group shows a range of styles, including a seven-gabled Gothic Revival house from 1855, a late Greek Revival house from 1857, Italianate and Queen Anne houses, Neo-classical Revival homes of about 1900, and a Georgian Revival house from about 1935. Many were built by Tiffin's managers, lawyers, publishers and pottery executives who prospered during the industrial boom that followed the 1888 discovery of oil and gas. Large lots and tree-lined streets reflect the wealth behind these homes. The neighborhood was socially prominent for only a short time, after wealthy residents left Fort Ball and before the south end developed. It was listed for its architecture and for what it shows of this brief elite neighborhood.","period_of_significance":"1850s-1935","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Gothic Revival, Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, Neo-classical Revival, Georgian Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Mostly private residences in excellent to fair condition; a few buildings serve as a college dormitory and as churches.
