The Bungalows and Four Squares with Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial and classical elements were built for middle-class buyers. The street also keeps a high degree of integrity, unlike much of the surrounding neighborhood.","narrative":"Newton Avenue is a narrow, one-way street on Cleveland's east side, in the Hough neighborhood near University Circle. Its 23 buildings include 21 single-family houses and two four-story brick apartment buildings that mark the western entrance. Most houses went up in 1910 and 1911 as part of the Logan Subdivision, built by developer Philip Marquard and his real estate and building company. The apartment buildings followed in 1914 and 1915. The two-story houses, Bungalows and Four Squares, sit on lots 30 feet wide with narrow setbacks and full front porches. Roof lines, dormers, window surrounds, porch details and leaded glass give them Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial and Craftsman character. Houses cost between $2,500 and $3,000 to build and drew managers and professionals. The street was listed for its cohesive early 20th century design and its largely intact buildings, a contrast with surrounding Hough, where population loss led to many demolitions and much vacant land.","period_of_significance":"1910-1915","architect_builder":"Philip Marquard","architectural_style":"Colonial Revival; Late 19th & 20th Century Revivals (Dutch Colonial Revival); Bungalow; Late 19th & Early 20th Century American Movements (Four Square)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as retaining a high degree of integrity with few demolitions; houses and apartment buildings remain in residential use, though two houses and two other buildings nearby were demolished.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.255822-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/88001298.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"05000382","name":"Rockefeller Park and Cleveland Cultural Gardens Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/ohio/rockefeller-park-and-cleveland-cultural-gardens-historic-district-05000382/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71987369","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/cuyahoga-county/newton-avenue-historic-district-88001298/"}
