The 9.65-acre property also includes a carriage house, a granite wall, a grotto, a remnant orchard and a wooded area with a stream.","why_significant":"The nomination ties the property to William H. Gibson, a Civil War general, state treasurer and founder of Gibsonburg, and to cigar manufacturer W.H. Kildow. It also treats the house as architecturally significant, since it shows changes made over time, including an Arts and Crafts remodeling and a rear addition by Tiffin architect George Netcher around 1910.","narrative":"Springdale is a two-story Gothic Revival house built in 1853 on a slight rise behind a granite wall at the edge of Tiffin, Ohio. Originally a rectangular building, it grew into a cruciform plan through a major addition before 1880 and a rear addition designed by Tiffin architect George Netcher around 1910. Around that time the exterior was stuccoed in the Arts and Crafts manner, and rooms inside were redecorated in Neoclassical and Arts and Crafts styles. Steep gables, lancet tracery windows and quatrefoil trim mark the Gothic character. The grounds hold a carriage house, a stone grotto, a remnant orchard and woods with a stream. The house is linked to William H. Gibson, a lawyer, state treasurer, Civil War brigadier general and founder of Gibsonburg, who sold it in 1880. It is also linked to cigar manufacturer William H. Kildow, whose family lived there until well into the twentieth century. The period of significance runs from 1853 to 1936.","period_of_significance":"1853-1936","architect_builder":"Netcher, George","architectural_style":"Gothic (Gothic Revival), with Arts and Crafts and Neoclassical alterations","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling; the carriage house is a rental unit and a deer feeding shed is being restored.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:07.0806-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/93000878.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/93000878/af30fae4c4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/93000878/af30fae4c4-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Christopher L.
