This property stands in Geneva Township. History of Ashtabula County, Ohio, published 1878 gives that township a chapter of its own.
The chapter covers the township.
Machine-read from a century-old scan, so
expect the errors a machine makes: misspelled names, dropped words,
stray characters.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. Museums hold 873 specimens
collected within 10 miles of Eagle Cliff Hotel between 1872 and 1975: 747 Animalia, 102 Plantae, 22 Fungi, 1 Unrecorded, 1 Chromista.
12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A. A. Bill, A. B. Fuller, A. Burhanna 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.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. The National Weather Service names
Geneva-on-the-Lake, the town this property stands in, in 7 storm reports between 1994 and 2024: 7 thunderstorm wind.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
United States Geological Survey topographic
sheets whose coverage includes this point. Matched by taking the coordinate the National Park Service records for this property, then
testing that coordinate against the published boundary of every sheet.
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 quoted below word for word, 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.
