The house was built in 1880, and the 3.9-acre nominated area holds a house, garage and privy as contributing buildings plus a relocated barn that is noncontributing.","why_significant":"The farm is significant under Criterion A for its link to the agricultural practices of the Cuyahoga Valley. Under Criterion C, its buildings show vernacular construction methods, including a hall-and-parlor house plan with Folk Victorian porch detailing. The grouping of buildings and surrounding fields reads as a functionally related farm unit with a high degree of integrity.","narrative":"Set beside the unused Ohio & Erie Canal on Bolanz Road in Cuyahoga Falls, this small farmstead centers on a one-and-a-half story wood frame house built in 1880 for the Hunt family. The house follows a hall-and-parlor plan, with a rear addition that gives the roof a saltbox profile and a front porch with turned spindle posts typical of Folk Victorian detailing. A garage from about 1900 and a small privy also contribute. The barn began as the Botzum schoolhouse, which was moved and reassembled in the 1930s, so it is counted as noncontributing. After the Hunts, the farm passed to August Wilke in 1905 and later to other owners, and the Park Service acquired it in 1977. The farm was recognized for its connection to the agricultural history of the Cuyahoga Valley and for buildings that show typical local construction methods. The house is now vacant and has been stabilized to slow deterioration.","period_of_significance":"1880-1910","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian; Other: Hall and Parlor (Folk Victorian porch detailing)","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The house is unoccupied.
