It is also tied to Adam J. Stoll, president of the Sandusky Light Co., owner of half of Cedar Point, and a leader in building up the Cedar Point Pleasure Resort. Later owners were also considered important local citizens.","narrative":"Built in 1884 at the corner of Wayne and Madison Streets in Sandusky, this three-story brick house is a richly detailed example of Queen Anne architecture. It has a slate hip roof with intersecting gables, roof crockets and finials, dormers, and a third-floor ornate porch. Tall, thin chimneys carry terra cotta panels, and a recessed second-floor porch has wood posts and rails. Ornate woodwork decorates many windows, the main entry has double doors with a transom, and a stone water table sits above a limestone foundation. The house is also associated with Adam J. Stoll, who began in the fish business and rose to become president of the Sandusky Light Co., owner of half of Cedar Point, and a leading figure in developing the Cedar Point Pleasure Resort. In 1908 he served as superintendent of the water works. Later owners were also prominent citizens, and the building became a nursing home in 1962. It sits in a neighborhood of large homes.","period_of_significance":"1884","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a nursing home since 1962; exterior condition described as very good, with aluminum awnings as a recent addition.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.856047-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/82001444.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001444/0d56cdf426-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001444/0d56cdf426-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Adam_J._Stoll_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Adam_J._Stoll_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71984798","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137779329"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/erie-county/stoll-adam-j-house-82001444/"}
