David and Elizabeth Bell Boldman House

The David and Elizabeth Bell Boldman House was a two-story structure with side wings and prominent square columns supporting a triangular roof section. The building combined wood framing with a fieldstone foundation and displayed classical architectural details characteristic of the Greek Revival style.

The residence was built around 1835 by Henry Boldman, a Scottish immigrant who arrived through New York. His son David later added a cheese factory to the property, reflecting the agricultural economy of the time.

The building displayed Greek Revival design elements that shaped the appearance of early settlements in this area. Its classical columns and balanced proportions reflected architectural tastes that dominated the region during the 1800s.

The property is located along Canton Center Road near Sheldon in this township. The building is no longer standing, though the surrounding area remains accessible to those interested in the location's history.

The basement contained visible sections of hand-hewn log construction from an earlier building phase. These older construction methods remained hidden beneath the later Greek Revival facade that was added to the property.
