This property stands in New Lyme Township. History of Ashtabula County Ohio, published 1924 gives that township a chapter of its own.
The chapter covers the township.
Machine-read from a century-old scan, so
expect the errors a machine makes: misspelled names, dropped words,
stray characters.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. Museums hold 465 specimens
collected within 10 miles of New Lyme Town Hall between 1872 and
1975: 415 Animalia, 36 Fungi, 14 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A.E. Daugherty, Acker, G. G. & Class, Armbruster, D. C. (Daniel C.) and others. Each is a
physical object with a catalogue
number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was
collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be
concluded from a species being absent.
No historic map-sheet match is published
for this property yet. That does not mean no map exists. This record needs
a coordinate-quality review before it can be joined to a sheet boundary.

When this property was proposed for the
National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is,
and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain.
It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the
occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s
typewriter's.
