It reflects the taste and cultural growth of the community at the turn of the century. It was designed by Dr. Linaweaver, a prominent physician and painter of local historic scenes.","narrative":"Built in 1904 at 1224 South Main Street in Findlay, Ohio, this temple-like Neo-Classical Revival house was designed by its owner, Dr. Albert Linaweaver, a physician since 1890 who also studied classical architecture and was a well-known painter. The two and one-half story clapboard house rises from a raised basement of rock-faced ashlar stone. Four Corinthian columns carry a two-story pedimented portico, and Corinthian pilasters support a full entablature along each side. A sunburst motif appears on the portico ceiling and repeats in the woodwork, windows and garden fence. Inside, Doric, Ionic and Tuscan pillars, leaded glass and a statue of Hermes on the staircase continue the classical theme. The house reflects the prosperity of Findlay's gas and oil boom, when population grew from 4,633 in 1880 to more than 18,000 by 1890 and elegant homes were built. Its design was widely copied, and it became a local landmark, pictured on postcards and in Dr. Linaweaver's advertising.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"Dr. Albert H.
