COLDHAM/STORER-DANIELS HOUSE 2243 ROBINWOOD AVE.

Though originally built in the late 1800's, this house was extensively renovated in 1920.

Built in the Queen Anne Shingle Style for Dr. William W. Coldham, a Toledo surgeon, George Storer, founder of Storer Broadcasting, purchased this home in 1920. He hired David Stine, one of Toledo's premier architects, to transform it into an English Manor. The formal design reflects the Tudor/Jacobethan Revival style which was common in the United States in the 1920's.
The home has four floors with twenty-two rooms and five fireplaces. One of the most dramatic features of this home is the two-story leaded glass windows with stylized ash leaf inserts of stained glass on the multi-tiered staircase. Both the library and the dining rooms are paneled in quarter-sawn oak with Jacobean barrel ceilings, In contrast to the overall Tudor theme, the living room has egg and dart molding around the ceiling and an Italian Marble fireplace. The butler's pantry is still original to the conversion from 1920 while the kitchen has been completely remodeled and updated.
