It includes the Queen Anne home of brick manufacturer Thomas Cisler, built 1884-1885, plus four workmen's homes and a company grocery store from the 1890s.","why_significant":"The nomination cites the excellence of the house's Queen Anne architecture and the prominence of its original owner, Thomas H. Cisler (1869-1950). Cisler was an innovative brick manufacturer who developed shale brick, founded the Marietta Bach Society and Astronomical Society, and donated land to the city. The complex also illustrates the late 19th-century urban residential-industrial pattern.","narrative":"Cisler Terrace is a small hillside complex in Marietta, Ohio, that once combined a brick manufacturer's home with housing and shops for his workers. The surviving buildings are the owner's Queen Anne residence, built in 1884-1885 from a design by local architect Adolph Morris, four brick workmen's homes on Seventh Street, and a company grocery store. The house is notable for elaborate corbelled brickwork, stone belts, zinc window hoods, wood brackets, a slate roof and cherry interior woodwork, including an organ installed in 1916. Thomas H. Cisler ran a family brick business that developed a method of using shale for brick and supplied paving blocks used in many Marietta streets. He also founded the Marietta Bach Society and Astronomical Society, and gave land to the city, including the plant site that became a YMCA and park. The workmen's homes were rented to employees for $5 a month. The brick plant was razed in 1926.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"Adolph \"Delph\" Morris (1835-?)","architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"The owner's home, four workmen's homes and a company grocery store remain; the brick plant and a second company store have been razed.
