It is a distinctive example of the Tudor Revival style of architecture, with its arched doorways, carved wood staircase, prominent Tudor arch fireplace with oak paneling, and exposed beams in the living room. The exterior also reflects Tudor design in its gabled front entry with stone trim, massive stone and brick chimneys, slate roof with prominent cross gables, and copper gutters. The gardens include an embanked grotto, constructed of stone. The Frank Mason Raymond House was constructed and given to Raymond and his wife, the former Zeletta Robinson, as a wedding present from his grandfather, Frank H. Mason, who was a senior executive of the B. F. Goodrich Company and had his large summer mansion adjacent to this house. The mansion, which once housed a nursing home, has since been torn down. The couple were married on December 28, 1927, and lived at Mason's neighboring mansion, Brighton Farms, for the 13 months while their home was being built. They continued to live at the Tudor House until they built a home in Bath Township. Consisting of {{convert|1700|acres|ha}}, Brighton Farms was one of the largest estates in the Lakes area. In 1954, {{convert|500|acres|ha}} of the estate were sold to the State of Ohio for the Portage Lakes State Park. The Tudor House was later rented by Goodrich Vice-President, George Vaught, and his family. Then, in 1943, prominent Akron jeweler Henry B. Ball and his wife, Helen, bought the mansion. They lived there for 25 years with their children, Skip and Betty (Mrs. Dick Walter). Betty was married at the mansion. From 1968 to 1974, Akron contractor Robert Fabbro and his family of six children occupied the mansion. In 1974, it was sold to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. In July 1977, a 50-year lease was signed with the State for the facilities to be used as a civic center. Under the direction of the Franklin Park Civic Center Commission, it is the site of numerous community activities.[2] References1. ^{{NRISref|2009a}} {{National Register of Historic Places}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Raymond, Frank Mason, House}}2. ^1 City of New Franklin, Summit County, Ohio, "Franklin Park Civic Center", 21 October 2009. 5 : Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Ohio|Houses completed in 1913|Houses in Summit County, Ohio|National Register of Historic Places in Summit County, Ohio|1913 establishments in Ohio |
