Jim Brown House, Historic house in Peninsula, Summit County, US
The Jim Brown House features a four over four room layout with white exterior finishing and wide trim around the entrance door.
Built in 1840, this Greek Revival residence gained National Register of Historic Places status on March 2, 1979, encompassing 3.5 acres of land.
The property includes a main house, an 1886 raised bank barn, and a 1930 greenhouse, representing nineteenth-century architectural development in Ohio.
The house stands on elevated ground, protecting it from the frequent floods that affect the surrounding Cuyahoga Valley farmlands.
The original owner, Jim Brown, operated as a counterfeiter and justice of the peace until his imprisonment in 1846 for producing false currency.
