Neukom, Albert, House
Why it's listed
Built in 1888 at 301 Broadway in Toledo, this sandstone house was the family home of Albert Neukom, who ran a successful stone contracting business from the early 1880s. His firm, the Albert Neukom Cut Stone Company, supplied stonework for the State Library Building and Post Office in Ann Arbor, courthouses in Coldwater, Michigan, and Rushville, Illinois, the Toledo Customs and Post Office, the Toledo Public Library, and later the Lucas County Courthouse and Jail. The house is described as Renaissance in style, with a south porch of marble Ionic columns, a north gable with three arched windows, a projecting bay window, carved ornamental panels between the first and second story windows, and a slate roof. Its chimneys suggest a French chateau influence. It is noted as one of the few early cut stone homes in Toledo and one of the earliest surviving homes on the city's near south side.
Significance in brief: The nomination argues the house is one of the few early cut stone homes in Toledo. It is also one of the earliest remaining homes in the near south side of Toledo. It is tied to Albert Neukom, a leading local stone contractor.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary for a privately owned home: it does not by itself restrict what an owner may do with their own money, and it does not require public access. Restrictions come from local landmark or historic-district ordinances, which are separate (how they differ).
Owner-occupied houses are not eligible for the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit, which applies to income-producing buildings, but many states offer credits for homeowners. Listing also opens the door to preservation easements and to buying a plaque. Start with what listing means for homeowners, renovating a listed house and selling one.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
