It has been used as a juvenile detention home.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is significant for its outstanding Eastlake architecture. It was also built by August Kuebeler, a late 19th-century \"beer baron\" who, with his brother Jacob, founded the prosperous Kuebeler Brewing Co. in 1867. That firm became the nucleus of the Cleveland & Sandusky Brewing Co. in 1898 and was one of the city's most important businesses until Prohibition.","narrative":"Built in 1885 at 1319 Tiffin Avenue on Sandusky's west side, this three-story brick house is an elaborate example of Eastlake design. It sits on a large lot bounded by iron and picket fences. Decorative features include a porch with turned posts and sawn cutwork, a double entry with a transom, and a stone door lintel carved with a large sculpted head. Sandstone string courses, carved stone window lintels with brackets, and some colored glass window panels add detail. Tall chimneys have recessed brick and terra cotta panels, and the roof gables have curved brackets and carved panels. The house was built for August Kuebeler, a late 19th-century brewer. He and his brother Jacob founded the Kuebeler Brewing Co. in 1867, which became the core of the Cleveland & Sandusky Brewing Co. in 1898. Jacob built an identical house across the street, razed in 1971. The house later served as a county juvenile detention home and received a rear addition.","period_of_significance":"1885","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Eastlake","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a juvenile detention home (Erie County Detention Home); exterior in good condition, with a rear addition built by the county.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.465011-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/82001416.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001416/7b40dbe8a6-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001416/7b40dbe8a6-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:August_Kuebeler_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:August_Kuebeler_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71984884","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Kuebeler_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q125502761"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/erie-county/kuebeler-august-house-82001416/"}
