1903 1994

This property stands in Bath Township. History of Summit County, with an Outline Sketch of Ohio, published 1881; History of Summit County, Ohio, published 1881; Centennial History of Summit County, Ohio and Representative Citizens, published 1908 gives that township a chapter of its own.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 4 fires within 5 miles of Bath Township Hall between 1993 and 2012, burning about 1 acre in total. None started naturally. None was recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 775 specimens collected within 10 miles of Bath Township Hall between 1867 and 1975: 680 Animalia, 54 Plantae, 40 Fungi, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by (no collector listed), A. Black, A. Hall and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

When this property was proposed for the National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is, and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain. It is reproduced in full on its own page, word for word and never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s typewriter's.

The whole case file for this property - 414 words, 4 pages, reproduced complete.

Quoted from the National Register nomination for reference 79002805, 4 pages, held by the National Archives in Record Group 79. See the catalogue record.
