This was built with the intention of luring the county seat of Wood County back to Perrysburg. When that failed, it became the town hall. Edward O. Fallis had a hand in its design.
Good work. Notice the window over the entrance.
No, it's not the garage. In the old south, it would have been called a garconniere, and been a hideaway for the eldest son of the family. In the 20th century, things like this were sometimes called "mother-in-law houses". Whatever you want to call it, I love it. Take that covering off the porch and it would be perfect for me. I wonder if the owner would like to adopt a crotchety old uncle?
Very impressive, even if the tower was a bit out of proportion to the rest of the building.
The Oliver House. I'll tell you why it's so important as soon as I summon up the energy to dig out the pictures.
Stained glass windows always look good on a cold night.

Who needs New York? Why be jostled by a crowd no one in his right mind would trust when you could have a fun night in a pleasant little town along a beautiful lake? Port Clinton, Ohio, doesn't drop a big ball on New Year's Eve. That's boring. They drop a 20 ft. walleye. Now do you see why I like Ohio?
