Why it's listed
Built in 1834 by canal boat captain William Stahl, this modest two-story frame house stands at 330 West Wooster Street in Navarre, Ohio, on a lot beside the Ohio and Erie Canal and its docks. Its post-and-beam frame is largely black walnut, with some materials salvaged from an older barn. Weatherboard siding, original wooden shutters, and a full-width front porch define its simple exterior. In 1881 it was bought by Marquis L. Hoagland, the state boat captain and maintenance foreman for a section of the canal, who raised seven children there. Two rear rooms were added about that time, and the interior plan, flooring, staircase, doors and trim remain original. Navarre grew as a canal grain port, and the house is one of only two or three pre-Civil War residences in the village that have escaped major alteration. Its significance rests on its direct link to canal operations and to the lives of canal workers, from 1834 to 1906.
Significance in brief: The house is nominated under Criterion A as a representative of Navarre's close ties to the Ohio and Erie Canal, the main economic theme of the village's nineteenth-century history. It was built and lived in by canal boat captains, and it is one of only two or three pre-Civil War residences in Navarre that have kept their integrity.

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.
