Description

This two-story Craftsman home is substantially shielded from view by its deep setback and dense landscaping. It appears to be "Tw shaped, with a rear, two-story side gabled wing and a projecting one-story, front-gabled wing. Roof details include exposed rafters and purlins and latticed vents in the peaks of the gable ends. Originally a porch was recessed beneath the front gable; it has been enclosed with windows above a low cobblestone wall. Another smaller gable shades the raised entry at the south end of the former porch. Original windows are predominately double-hung sash in type and are arranged in two-s and three's. Clapboard sheathes the structure which is in good condition. Other than the porch, it appears unaltered.

This Craftsman home is one of a series of three houses built on the Osborn Subdivision of lot 332 of the Ontario Colony. Recorded in 1887, it was the only subdivision north of Foothill until the 1920s. The assessment record indicates that there was no improvement on the property from 1900-05, when it was owned by Daniel Hilberg. C.A. Greenleaf purchased it in 1905-06 and in 1909 divided lot 2 in half. C.A. Greenleaf was listed in the 1907 directory as being in real estate and in 1909-10 as a I1promoter;" in both years he lived in San Antonio Heights. Ada J. Shutler was the next assessee (beginning in 1910) for the south half of 1902, on which this house was located. By 1914 an improvement had been added to the property and the directories placed Ada Shutler at this location. Perhaps she married and moved away, because for one year (1919) Ada J. Heigs was assessed but not included in the directory.

Before the year was out banker Allan Stone Barr had bought the parcel. Listed in 1919 as a teller at the First National Bank, Barr would eventually succeed his father Charles as president of the institution. Because of its association with the development of Euclid Avenue and with a prominent resident, this house contributes to the historic landscape on Euclid Avenue today.
