James Stanford settled the land in 1806 and took part in surveying the township, and his son and grandson held township offices. The house is described as a fine example of Greek Revival architecture, and the farm illustrates the township's agricultural heritage.","narrative":"Set on Stanford Road just north of the village of Boston, this farmstead looks west toward the Cuyahoga River and the Ohio and Erie Canal. The centerpiece is a two-story Greek Revival house, probably built about 1830, with five bays, a central entrance porch with pediment, clapboard siding, and a rear ell. The house is described as essentially unchanged since it was pictured in an 1874 county atlas. Surviving outbuildings include a springhouse, barn, corn crib, and brick smoke house. James Stanford settled the land in 1806 after joining the party that surveyed Boston Township, and he reportedly suggested its name. His son George, who probably built the house, and grandson George C. both farmed here and served in township offices, including justice of the peace. The property is valued for this family association, its Greek Revival architecture, and its picture of nineteenth-century farming in the Cuyahoga Valley. It is now park land, and the buildings stand vacant.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"The house and outbuildings were described as vacant; the property was purchased by the National Park Service and is part of Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.397514-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/82001874.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001874/0396f3c79e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001874/0396f3c79e-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"National Park Service","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:George_Stanford_House_NPS.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">National Park Service</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:George_Stanford_House_NPS.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71991493","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stanford_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q100490221"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/summit-county/stanford-george-farm-82001874/"}
