It housed three notable Sandusky families, including James Marshall of the Sandusky Tool Co. and Dr. Dean Sheldon, the city's first gynecologist and a conservationist. It was also the first dwelling connected to Sandusky's new water and sewer lines in 1875.","narrative":"Built in 1875 at 514 Wayne Street in Sandusky, this two-story Italianate frame house has a limestone foundation, lap siding, shingle roofing and intersecting gables. Details include frieze board panels, roof brackets and returns, windows with ornate caps and louvered sections above the original shutters, and a decorative portico leading to double doors with iron grill work. The front porch was removed in 1919, and a rear addition was made in 1935 as a physician's office. The house was home to three prominent Sandusky families: James Marshall, president of the Sandusky Tool Co.; John Sweet, secretary of the Farrell-Cheek Foundry; and Dr. Dean Sheldon and his wife. Dr. Sheldon was the city's first gynecologist and a conservationist who helped establish several wildlife sanctuaries now owned by the state. The house was also the first dwelling connected to the water and sewer lines installed in Sandusky the year it was built. A shady yard with an arched iron fence surrounds it.","period_of_significance":"1875","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Used as a dwelling; exterior condition listed as very good.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.227714-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/82001422.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001422/b580ac3001-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001422/b580ac3001-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:James_E._Marshall_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:James_E._Marshall_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71984956","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137778839"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/erie-county/marshall-james-e-house-82001422/"}
