It sits on a bluff overlooking the Maumee River.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is one of only two surviving large-scale townhouses in Toledo, where few pre-1900 townhouses remain. It represents the evolution of early housing trends in the city that paralleled national models. It also shows an unusual combination of two of Toledo's most popular mid-to-late 19th-century styles, Italianate and Queen Anne.","narrative":"Riverview Apartments is a three-story brick and frame complex on a bluff above the Maumee River in north Toledo, beside a line of large homes that became a fashionable address after about 1870. It began around 1881 as an Italianate townhouse serving four families, with a heavily bracketed cornice and ornate molded window hoods. Around 1890, Queen Anne wings with shingled gables and polygonal towers were added at each end, raising the capacity to six units for upper middle class families. About 1926 the building was divided into 22 apartments. It is considered significant because only it and Westminster Row remain as large-scale townhouses in Toledo, the last intact examples of that phase of the city's housing development. Its mix of Italianate and Queen Anne styles also links two eras of development along Summit Street. At the time of listing, a renovation was restoring original details and reducing the units to twelve.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate central block with Queen Anne wings","criteria":[],"status_note":"Undergoing renovation as a subsidized housing project, which will reduce the units from 22 to twelve and restore original exterior and interior features.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:15.148449-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/83002002.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83002002/1d5cd7ec52-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83002002/1d5cd7ec52-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Toledo_Riverview_Apartments.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Toledo_Riverview_Apartments.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71989927","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138548511"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/lucas-county/riverview-apartments-83002002/"}
