The original Greek Revival farmhouse was built in 1834 and later enlarged in the early 20th century and again around 1930.","why_significant":"The house represents the two main periods of Gates Mills' development. The 1834 Greek Revival farmhouse reflects the village's early settlement as a Western Reserve mill town. Its enlargement into a Neo-Classical estate reflects the village's revival as a suburban commuter community for Cleveland in the early 1900s.","narrative":"Set on a sloping knoll above the Chagrin River in Gates Mills, this L-shaped house grew in three stages. Its north wing is a story-and-a-half Greek Revival farmhouse built in 1834 by Gideon Keyt, a cobbler and dairy farmer who came to the Western Reserve from New Jersey by way of New York. Around the turn of the 20th century, the Maple Leaf Land Company, which bought up much of the village for suburban development, more than doubled the house in Neo-Classical Revival style, adding four massive Roman Doric columns and a more elaborate entrance. In the early 1930s, Thomas Jones added a library and porch designed by C.R. Greco and E.G. Reed. The property includes about four acres of wooded and grassy grounds, a curved driveway and a small braced-frame bank barn built in 1891. Together, the additions record Gates Mills' shift from an agricultural village to a Cleveland suburb.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"unknown (library addition architects C.R.
