Description: Although the exact location is unknown, this house in Ohio is an example of the Federal architecture style. Federal architecture was prevalent in the United States between 1780-1830 and derived its name from the era known as the Federal Period. The style was developed from Georgian architecture that was common in the colonies before this time. Some characteristics of the Federal style include an emphasis on symmetry with a centered front door, a hipped roof with tall chimneys at both ends, columns around the doorway, and narrow six-pane sash windows. The front porch with wrought-iron decoration is not consistent with the Federal style and is a more common aspect of French Colonial architecture. More information needed View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Caption reads; "A house on Akron's "West Hill," where management employees of the rubber companies live." This house is located on Mayfield Avenue in the West Hill neighborhood of Akron, Ohio, adjacent to the Hall Park Allotment Historic District. The Hall Park Allotment was developed by Philander Hall between 1902 and 1919 during the height of Akron's "rubber boom," as middle class residents sought homes on West Hill, away from the smoke and soot of industry. It consists of several houses representing the picturesque styles of the period, including the American Foursquare, Craftsman, Colonial, and Medieval Revival Styles. West Hill is roughly bounded by West Market on the north, West Exchange on the south, Downtown on the East, and Rhodes Avenue on the West. It features many stately older homes, particularly in the recently recognized Oakdale Historic District. View on Ohio Memory.
