It holds about 520 contributing buildings, mostly houses built from the 1870s to the 1920s, plus churches and schools.","why_significant":"The district preserves a large, intact streetscape of late 19th and early 20th century housing in styles such as Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Arts & Crafts and Bungalow, along with landmark churches and a Jacobethan school. It also reflects Toledo's neighborhood life-cycle, including subdivision of large houses into apartments. From the mid-1950s it became a pivotal middle class African-American neighborhood.","narrative":"Englewood is a residential neighborhood in Toledo, Ohio, laid out roughly between W. Bancroft, Lawrence, Oakwood, Hoag and Detroit. It contains over 500 contributing buildings, most of them houses built between about 1875 and the mid-1920s. The housing includes Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Arts & Crafts and Bungalow designs, with many foursquares and gable-front types. Churches and a school add landmarks, among them St. Anne's Catholic church, designed by John T. Comes of Pittsburgh and topped by a 118-foot campanile, and the Jacobethan Robinson Junior High, built in 1929 after Second Empire mansions on Grand Avenue were demolished. Over time many large homes were divided into flats and apartments. Beginning in the mid-1950s, African-American families moved into the area in large numbers, and Englewood became an important middle class Black neighborhood, home to professionals as well as laborers. By 1970 almost 90 percent of residents were African-American. The district remains largely residential, with its churches and school still in use.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"John T.
