It adds a residential and commercial area of about 450 structures, mostly built before the 1920s, north of the original district and along Collingwood and Glenwood.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the added area is a logical continuation of the original district. Its homes were built around 1890-1920, some by the same architects, and it includes churches, schools, a theater and a neighborhood shopping area. It reflects the period when Toledo grew into a major industrial city.","narrative":"This amendment enlarges the Old West End Historic District in Toledo, Ohio, to take in a fringe area of about 450 buildings. They are mostly single-family homes and duplexes built before the 1920s, along with six churches, two schools, a hotel, a theater and a small commercial district at Collingwood and Delaware. The area runs along Collingwood Boulevard, once called the Avenue of Churches, and Glenwood Avenue. Its houses are smaller than those in the original district but date from the same years, roughly 1890 to 1920, and several were designed by architects who worked there, including Harry Wachter and David L. Stine. Industrialists, physicians, judges and a Toledo mayor lived here. Styles range from Queen Anne and Shingle to Spanish Revival, Gothic Revival and Colonial Revival. Of the 450 structures, 359 are counted as contributing, and 75 more could qualify once reversible changes are undone. The addition was accepted because it forms a logical continuation of the original district.","period_of_significance":"1890-1920s","architect_builder":"Harry Wachter, Edward Fallis, David L.
