| Title | North Main Street #460 |
| Description | This 1869/1870 house was built by Augustus Ellsworth (1812-1892), who was in the coal business. Augustus' father, Elisha Ellsworth (1785-1859), was a twin. Augustus' wife, Harriet Newell Ellsworth (1817-1897), was the daughter of Aaron Wilcox (1772-1827), one of the twins for whom Twinsburg is named. The black walnut used in the frame of this home is a testament to its once-plentiful supply in this area. The strength of walnut as a wood is why it was often utilized as a framing lumber for early homes. |
