Its precast concrete porch and intact interior detailing reflect the success of a local grocer during the early 20th century growth of Canal Winchester. It stands out among 31 Four-Square houses in town, many of which were plain originally and are now heavily altered.","narrative":"This 2 1/2-story house at 80 East Waterloo Street in Canal Winchester, Ohio, was built around 1908 for William King, who owned a grocery store in town. It is an American Four-Square, with a box-like form, a low hipped roof, dormers, a modillioned cornice and a wraparound one-story porch carried on round precast concrete columns. The frame walls have cedar siding over a rock-faced concrete block foundation. Inside, the four-rooms-over-four plan survives, along with hardwood floors, pocket doors, French doors, a scissor staircase and an ornate mantel with a mirror and Ionic columns. Of 31 Four-Square houses within the village limits, this one stands out for its intact plan and detail and its prominent corner site. It was listed for its local architectural significance. Later changes include an enclosed rear porch of about 1960, and the house was returned to single-family use after a period as a multiple-family dwelling.","period_of_significance":"c. 1908","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"American Four-Square","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Converted earlier to a multiple-family unit, then rehabilitated by the present owners and returned to single-family use; the exterior siding was abrasively cleaned and is pitted.
