A general synopsis of the district's historical significance
this page online
The Old Tippecanoe Main Street Historic District is architecturally significant in southwest Ohio, because it is a well-preserved collection of canal town public, industrial, commercial, and residential structures. The district includes an unusual variety of styles and typifies a turn of the century town. Since the village has always enjoyed economic prosperity due to its location along major transportation routes, and because of its diversified industrial and commercial bases, it has not experienced a decline in the quality of civic life or in community pride in its buildings. Nor has it been swallowed up by any one major impact that could have overwhelmed this small canal town of yesterday as it grew into today's [1982's] city of approximately 6,000 people.
Additionally, an architectural description of the house and its neighbor can be found on page 7:
Moving east on Main Street stands a two-story brick residence with added cur- vilinear porch and a gable ended porte' cochere. Built in 1870, this home is an integral part of the historical district.
It was prepared in August 1982 by Judy Gilleland, Administrative Intern in the City Managers Office in Tipp City. (Submitted on December 4, 2024, by Craig Doda of Napoleon, Ohio.)
