Dall, Andrew, Jr. and James, Houses
.jpg){kind=link}
Why it's listed
Two red brick houses with sandstone foundations stand side by side at 2225 and 2229 East 46th Street in Cleveland. The south house, built between 1875 and 1877, is Italianate, with stone Gothic-arched window hoods over round-headed windows. The north house, built between 1878 and 1881, is Eastlake, with steep carved gables, varied stone lintels and elaborate interior woodwork. Cobblestone carriage ways run beside them. They were built for Andrew Dall Jr. and James Dall, members of the leading family of building contractors in 19th century Cleveland, known for fine stone masonry. The family firm worked on Adelbert College, St. Paul's Episcopal Church, the Society for Savings and the Cuyahoga County Court House. The Dalls lived in these houses only about seven years, yet the pair is the only remaining 19th century residential link to the family. They were once the only brick houses on a block of frame houses and are now the main surviving late 19th century architecture on this stretch of the street.
Significance in brief: The houses are tied to the Dall family, the most important family of building contractors in 19th century Cleveland, noted for their stone masonry and for building many major city landmarks. They are the only surviving 19th century residences associated with the Dalls and retain their structural integrity. They are also the only significant remnant of late 19th century architecture on this part of East 46th Street.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary: it recognises significance and does not restrict what a private owner may do without federal money or permits. It unlocks the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit for income-producing buildings, state credits in many states, and Section 106 review when federal agencies are involved.
