| Additional Information: | "An attractive resource of the Northside is its small one-and two-story cream brick cottages. Identical brick houses can be seen on the Southside, but they were built in much greater numbers on the Northside near their source of materials. Bricks for these buildings came from brickyards at the east end of Goold Strete and north along the lake front. The lagoon and monkey pit at the city zoo are former claypits. Northside brick houses are sometimes called "German cottages," both because the original owners were generally of German or middle-European origin, and because the builders were usually German masons. Although few of there modest houses are exactly alike, most have the same basic features: a rubble stone foundation, a water table at the bottom of the wall, arched windows with raised brick hood moldings, and a low gable roof. Brick cottages were built from the 1860's to 1900, but most, like those along Erie from Goold to Yout, date from the mid-1880's to 1900."
