It is also presented as a rare surviving example of Victorian Eclectic architecture with exceptional craftsmanship and interior detailing. It is the only remaining building of the Tilden farm complex.","narrative":"Built about 1872, this two-story wood-frame farmhouse on Stine Road in Peninsula, Ohio, was the home of Daniel Tilden and his son Daniel W. Tilden, who ran a dairy farm and a cheese factory in Boston Township. The house has a cruciform plan, cross-gable roof, slate roofing with alternating rectangular and hexagonal slates, and decorated gables with incised scrollwork. A kitchen wing was added in 1888 and a garage in the 1950s. Inside, doors and windows are framed in carved white oak, some bases bearing hand-carved and wood-burned scenes of birds and flowers. The nomination points to the cheese business as the source of the family's means, and notes that most farmhouses in the Cuyahoga Valley were plain by comparison. It is the only surviving building of the 245-acre Tilden farm. The United States acquired the property in 1980, and later owners kept its original layout and details largely intact.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Victorian Eclectic","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Owned by the United States government since 1980.
