It is also a good example of pre-cast concrete block construction, with specially cast arches and water tables, and a rare example of Swiss Chalet Revival design. The reviewer accepted it as architecturally significant within the context of the Brooklyn Centre multiple resource area.","narrative":"Built around 1910 at 3000 Mapledale Avenue in Cleveland, this two-and-a-half-story house combines rock-faced masonry, stucco and half-timbering in a form that resembles a Swiss chalet. Mr. Bomante, who operated a restaurant in the Colonial Arcade, erected it and lived there for many years. Notable features include a front porch with elaborate wrought iron railings, two projecting second-floor windows, a large semi-elliptical window, bevelled glass, and a massive slate gable roof supported by brackets. The ground floor is made of pre-cast concrete blocks, specially cast to form round arches and water tables. Only two other houses in the Brooklyn Centre survey area use this material, and both are smaller and plainer. The design blends Jacobean-style half-timbering with Queen Anne-inspired arches and gables. It was listed for its architectural distinction as a rare Swiss Chalet Revival example and one of the best early twentieth century cement block houses in Cleveland. It sits on a rise above the street, with terraced front grounds.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Swiss Chalet Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Interior and exterior condition listed as good; used as a residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.698078-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/87000441.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87000441/8e594d4104-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87000441/8e594d4104-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Cricchetti","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bomante_House_1.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Cricchetti</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bomante_House_1.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"99000238","name":"Brooklyn Centre Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/ohio/brooklyn-centre-historic-district-99000238/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71984642","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomante_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q30624656"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/cuyahoga-county/bomante-house-87000441/"}
