Ohio house along Lake Erie for sale at $19.5M

VERMILION, Ohio (AP) — The unique lakefront home of an Ohio inventor has gone on sale for $19.5 million, including a fishing reservoir, helicopter landing pad and waterfall.

According to The Plain Dealer in Cleveland, the house located alongside Lake Erie in Vermillion has 38,000 square feet in separate pods connected by glass corridors.

It was owned by Donald Brown, inventor of the drop ceiling, and his wife, Shirley. They were killed last year in the crash of a small plane in Lorain County as they returned from Florida.

The house has five bedrooms, nine bathrooms, seven half-baths and two indoor pools. A fishing reservoir and a waterfall break up the grounds, which roll toward 2,300 feet of Lake Erie frontage.
