Georg Cronenwett House
The Georg Cronenwett House is a historic residence in the village of Woodville, Ohio, United States. Located along Main Street on the village's western side, the house has been designated a historic site because of its historic architecture and because of a famous former resident.
Born in the town of Langensteinbach in the Grand Duchy of Baden, Georg Cronenwett settled in the United States in 1832 at the age of eighteen. After nine years of life in Monroe, Michigan, he moved to Woodville at the
the center of the current structure. This original portion is three bays wide and entered through a recessed main entrance on one side. The house was the first Woodville building to be erected as a parsonage.
In late 1978, the Georg Cronenwett House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It qualified for this designation in two different ways: its architecture was deemed of historic significance, and Cronenwett was such an important member of the community's history that the house qualified because of its connection to him.
