2052 Robinwood Avenue, also known as the "Rock Castle", was built in 1894 by stone mason, Michael Henahan, as his personal residence. It was later purchased by John Breymann, of G. H. Breymann & Brothers. Breymann hired local architect, Arthur Burnside Sturges, who remodeled the home, giving it a castle-like appearance. #ToledoOhio #OldWestEnd #RichardsonianRomanesque #RomanesqueRevival #VictorianArchitecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #OhioFindItHere #ToledoRevival #OWEGrammers #ToledoRepublic #ThisPlaceMatters (at Old West End) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI7SSCPjV8d/?igshid=syre6ttrqcrs

This large turreted abode at 2233 Robinwood was built in 1892 for Frederick O. Paddock, a grain dealer. An excellent (and unusual) example of shingle style architecture, the Paddock home features ornate sandstone and brick in addition to traditional shingle. And take a look at that veranda! But what caught my attention about this home, besides its obvious beauty, are the solemn reminders of the real cost of a war that has been raging on for the better part of 2 decades. Quite sobering. #ToledoOhio #OldWestEnd #ShingleStyle #VictorianArchitecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhousesoldandnew #OhioFindItHere #ToledoRevival #OWEGrammers #ToledoRepublic #ThisPlaceMatters #GalaxyS8 #withGalaxy #ShotFromTheGalaxy (at Old West End, Toledo)

The towering Second Empire home at 2413 Collingwood was built in 1872 for merchant Christian Gerber. Mr. Gerber aspired to build the finest home in Toledo and spared no expense to do so. But in doing so, he went bankrupt three years later. In the early years of the 20th century, the home was acquired by the Ursuline Order of the Sacred Heart, with additional buildings being constructed nearby. Since 1985, the assorted buildings has been home to the Collingwood Arts Center, a community space for creatives. The parlors of the Gerber House are open to the public for art exhibitions, small conferences and meetings and other events. #ToledoOhio #OldWestEnd #SecondEmpire #FrenchRenaissanceRevival #VictorianArchitecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhousesoldandnew #MansardMonday #OhioFindItHere #ToledoRevival #OWEGrammers #ToledoRepublic #GalaxyS8 #withGalaxy #ShotFromTheGalaxy (at Collingwood Arts Center)
