The nomination calls it the only remaining building in Ohio associated with Harrison. It also represents the home of an early Franklinton settler.","narrative":"Built of brick in 1807, this two-story Federal style house at 570 West Broad Street in Columbus was erected by Jacob Oberdier, one of the first settlers of Franklinton, on a lot platted by Lucas Sullivant. The house rests on a limestone foundation and has a one-story north wing, a limestone-pedimented front door with a semicircular fanlight and sidelights, and double-hung sash windows. During the War of 1812, Franklinton served as a center where two to three thousand Ohio troops were trained and quartered. General William Henry Harrison used the house as his headquarters in the winter of 1813-1814, though the record does not say whether he bought, leased or was given use of it. The nomination describes it as the only remaining building in Ohio linked to Harrison. It was listed in 1972 on an emergency basis because the property faced sale and probable demolition for a used car lot. A later grant record describes the house as vacant.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Jacob Oberdier (builder)","architectural_style":"Federal","criteria":[],"status_note":"The 1972 form lists the house as in good condition and facing demolition for a used car lot after the death of its last occupant.
