It is a boundary increase to the 1979 listing of the Edmund Gleason House.","why_significant":"The farm is tied to agricultural development in the Cuyahoga Valley, from the railroad and scientific farming era through the period of agricultural decline. Its barn and outbuildings show locally important farm building practices, including a Wisconsin Dairy Barn, a granary and a corncrib designed for ventilation and rodent control. The nomination also cites the farm's high integrity.","narrative":"This farmstead on Canal Road in Valley View, Ohio, sits on the valley wall above the Cuyahoga River floodplain. It includes a two-story Greek Revival house of dressed sandstone built about 1854 for Edmund Gleason, a 1905 Wisconsin Dairy Barn, a granary, corncrib, shed, poultry house, the foundation of an earlier barn, and a field across Tinkers Creek Road. It extends the earlier listing of the house to cover the working farm. The property reflects the Cuyahoga Valley's agricultural history, from the railroad and scientific farming era to the decline after 1913. An 1880 census shows a dairy-focused operation that relied on hired labor. The barn follows a design developed at the University of Wisconsin, with a gambrel roof and rows of windows for light. The granary and corncrib are raised to keep out rodents and to ventilate stored grain. The farm retains its original layout and rural setting beside the Ohio & Erie Canal.","period_of_significance":"1851-1930","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival; Other (Wisconsin Dairy Barn)","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Current use is listed as vacant/not in use; the form says the farm has a high degree of integrity.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.335203-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/93000075.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"66000607","name":"Ohio and Erie Canal","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/ohio/ohio-and-erie-canal-66000607/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71984590","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/cuyahoga-county/gleason-edmund-farm-boundary-increase-93000075/"}
