The case file that argued this property on to the National Register: 2,150 words across 17 pages, filed in 1998. Read by 4 independent recognisers, of which at least 3 had to agree before a line was published.

Source document Held by the National Archives in Record Group 79 as reference 98001384, where it exists only as a scan with no text layer. The words below were read off that scan by 4 independent recognisers at two resolutions. Only lines that at least 3 of them returned identically appear below; where they disagreed, the line is withheld rather than guessed, so some of the form's furniture is missing. Spelling is never corrected, so a stray character that all the readers agreed on is the recogniser's and the typewriter's.. Nothing is summarised, corrected or written by this site.

Joseph Slingluff House, a two-story Italianate dwelling built in 1866, is located in a largely residential area of Dover just north of the downtown commercial district, on a corner lot facing the city's primary north-south street. This section of Wooster Avenue includes some of Dover's most architecturally distinctive Victorian homes. Although some two houses bordering the Slingluff House on the west and south are already listed on the The Slingluff House is constructed of brick laid in common bond pattern over a stone block foundation, with a projecting semi-octagonal bay on the facade and an oriel bay on the south elevation (photo #1). Segmental arch one-over-one double-hung windows presumably and ornately carved hood molds. The original front porch was replaced ca.

1904-1910 by a wrap-around porch with columns of precast rock-faced cement block (photo #3), a feature common to many older houses in Dover, reflecting the ready availability of this material following the 1904 opening of a precast block manufacturing plant in Dover. The low- pitched hip roof is embellished by a paneled cornice with finely carved paired brackets. The double-door round arch front entry opens to a side hall extending past a staircase with applied millwork ornamentation and a turned newel and balusters. The hall leads to a large dining room featuring built-in china and linen cupboards and a fireplace with a tiled hearth, iron fireback (photo #6), and an ornately carved mantle. Two large rooms on the north side of the hall have carved marble fireplaces (photo #7), crown moldings, and large paired pocket doors between them.

All floors, wood door and window surrounds, and decorated door and a second staircase behind them. One outbuilding, a modern garage built in 1997 on the southwest corner of the property, is a non-contributing building (photo #4). It replaced a diminutive gable-roofed, board-and- batten carriage shed (photo #8) which was too small to still serve as an automobile garage and was demolished in 1997. Other than the windows and front porch, the only other notable alteration has been the modernization of the kitchen (date unknown, mid-late 1900s). Page National Register.

This house exhibits many defining elements of usually two stories in height, with a low-pitched hipped roof, asymmetrical facades, tall arched fenestration with elaborate crowns, and prominent roof brackets. The Slingluff House embodies all of these major defining elements. The slightly raised basement and stone watertable support the irregularly massed brick building, which is distinguished by a arch windows have stone lug sills and ornate carved stone hood molds, and the panelled cornice displays carved, paired brackets beneath the eaves of the low-pitch hipped roof. Interior features, including the staircase, carved marble fireplaces, large paired pocket doors, built-in dining room cabinets, and original window and door surrounds, further contribute to the architectural significance of the house.

The majority of these are located east and north of the downtown commercial district, along East Second and Third streets and North Wooster and Tuscarawas streets. With one exception, however, all of the Italianate houses east of downtown are wood frame buildings more vernacular in design than the Slingluff House. Approximately ten brick Italianate houses still survive in Dover, concentrated along North Wooster Avenue, and the Slingluff National Register listing (the other two are at 521 and 530 N.
