Hinde, who invented the corrugated process used for Hinde & Dauch corrugated paper boxes, which changed the shipping industry. It is also described as Sandusky's only field stone house, and it later served as the area's first osteopathic hospital.","narrative":"Built in 1894 at 317 Fulton Street in Sandusky, this three-story house is notable for its fieldstone construction. Local tradition holds that it contains stone from every county in Ohio and every state in the Union. It is described as the only field stone house in Sandusky. Walls are faced with boulder and pebble stone over a stone foundation, and a tiled gable roof carries brackets and elongated bargeboards. The porch has fieldstone pillars and a fieldstone rail topped with limestone, and a limestone water table runs around the base. The house was the home of James J. Hinde, an inventor of the corrugated process used for Hinde & Dauch corrugated paper boxes, a development credited with revolutionizing shipping. Hinde was president of Sandusky Paper Company in 1893 and of Hinde & Dauch in 1908, and later led Hinde Brick & Tile Company. The building afterward served as the first osteopathic hospital in the area. It sits among smaller, in some cases older, houses.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Exterior condition is listed as good; the form records a prior use as the area's first osteopathic hospital and a private owner at the time of the survey.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.929639-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/82001409.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001409/4ba1d77357-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001409/4ba1d77357-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:James_J._Hinde_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:James_J._Hinde_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71984970","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137777174"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/erie-county/hinde-james-j-house-82001409/"}
