Chagrin Falls Triangle Park Commercial District (Boundary Increase)
The National Park Service has not published a boundary polygon for this district; the map shows the listed properties inside it and the district's reference point.
Why it's listed
This boundary increase extends the Chagrin Falls Triangle Park Commercial District, at North Main and East Orange Streets, to include four more resources. The Warren Building at 98 North Main Street is a two-story Greek Revival structure with hand-hewn post and beam framing joined with wooden pppegs and a sandstone foundation. It is described as the last example of its type in the commercial area. Next to it, the Barrows Harness Shop, built in 1846, was drastically altered in 1947 and counts as noncontributing. The Stoneman House, an Italianate building of 1873 built by Joseph W. Stoneman, was already listed for its architecture. Stoneman Alley connected the house to the Main Street businesses and served nearby buildings with rear access. Together these resources show the early commercial village and the later post-Civil War entrepreneurial period. The district's significance period runs from 1837 to 1929, under the area of commerce.

What listing means for this property
This is a historic district. Buildings within its boundary are either contributing (they add to the district's significance) or non-contributing. Owners of contributing income-producing buildings can claim the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit; homeowners should look at state credits. National Register districts impose no design review by themselves; a local historic district ordinance, if one exists, does (the difference explained).
