It is the only house of the two or three originally built in this style that retains notable integrity. Its siding, trim bands, slate roof and original interior woodwork embody the style.","narrative":"Built in 1887-1888 by Michael Cahill, this 2-1/2 story house at 1106 Walnut Boulevard in Ashtabula is a Stick-style home of balloon frame construction on a rubble sandstone foundation. Its Latin-cross plan includes a two-story squared bay on the east side. Horizontal and vertical wood bands frame sections of channeled tongue-and-groove siding, and the steep cross-gabled slate roof has exposed rafter ends and decorative fascia boards. Windows carry carved hoods. Inside, the original plaster, cherry, walnut, poplar and oak woodwork, pocket doors, shutters and floor plan survive. The house was listed because it is the best preserved and most fully developed Stick-style building in a city where the style was rare and where similar houses have been re-sided or altered. Andrew Dalin, a local brewer, bought it in 1905, and his daughter later rented upper rooms to seamen until the family sold it in 1983. Renovation completed in 1986 removed 1930 insul-brick siding.","period_of_significance":"1887-1888","architect_builder":"Michael Cahill (builder); architect unknown","architectural_style":"Stick/Eastlake","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Used as a single dwelling; renovated by 1986 after a period of deterioration, with interior in excellent condition.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.278121-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/88001711.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88001711/c76e1e65bc-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88001711/c76e1e65bc-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Alfredtwo","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Michael_Cahill_House_03.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Alfredtwo</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:The_Michael_Cahill_House_03.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986653","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137597606"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/ashtabula-county/cahill-michael-house-88001711/"}
