History
This Federal style house, completed circa 1850, began as a cabin in 1827 when Henry Cronise first moved to Seneca County, OH. The original cabin was incorporated as a summer kitchen (now a shed), a kitchen (now a garage), and servants' quarters. Henry Cronise started the first store, post office, and newspaper in Tiffin before becoming a judge and state senator. He was also instrumental in bringing Oliver Cowdery, one of the original three witnesses in the Mormon Church, to Tiffin.Judge Cronise's granddaughters, Nettie and Florence, lived in the house with their mother and took their grandfather's last name. Both studied at local Heidelberg College. Nettie was the first female attorney to be admitted to the bar in the State of Ohio in 1873 with Florence following in her footsteps 6 months later. They were the 9th and 14th female attorneys in the U.S. respectively. Florence never married and lived in the house until her death.
The house was then sold to the Good family, who undertook renovations to install closets, running water, and electricity. Original blueprints from the renovations, as well as photos and a letter from the daughter of the Goods explaining the renovations to the house, are in the possession of the owner and will be transferred to any purchaser.
The kitchen was updated in 2006.
