Windsor Corners District

Windsor Corners is a nineteenth-century village crossroads in Ashtabula County, Ohio, where U.S. Route 322 meets State Route 534. The district covers about 32 acres and includes an Italianate hotel and a store at the intersection, a Greek Revival church, a Greek Revival house of the Western Reserve type, an early Gothic Revival house with matching bargeboard tracery, a town hall built by the local Odd Fellows lodge in 1876, and a former church now used as a grange hall. Italianate and Second Empire houses extend up the hill to the north. Settlement began around 1799, and a mail route was established through the corners in 1803. Most houses were built by early settler families. The Methodist church dates to 1854, rebuilt in 1877. Cheese and cheese box factories once stood here but are gone. The district was valued as a cohesive, relatively unspoiled village that reflects its commercial, religious and social life. Overhead wires are the main intrusion on its character.
