It has a two and one half story central block with a full-height portico and several wings.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it a well preserved mid-nineteenth century Greek Revival house and a rare Brown County example of a building with a portico and two-story columns. It was built by John Thompson, a successful businessman from a family of local mill owners, and is not a typical southern Ohio farmhouse. It is also considered a significant area landmark for its hilltop setting.","narrative":"Built in 1852 on a hill west of Georgetown, this brick house overlooks the White Oak Creek valley in Brown County, Ohio. Its two and one half story main block carries a full-height portico with four plastered Tuscan columns, and wings were added on the east, west and rear over the years. Stone lintels and sills, dentiled cornices and an open four-flight stairway mark the building, and the interior floors, woodwork and fireplaces are original. John Thompson, whose family operated important mills on White Oak Creek, built it on land deeded to him in 1851. The nomination suggests E. Hubbard Baker, builder of the Brown County Court House and the Georgetown Presbyterian Church, as its likely designer-builder. It is described as a well preserved Greek Revival house and one of only a few Brown County buildings with a two-story columned portico. Used only as a residence until 1952, it later also displayed antiques.","period_of_significance":"1852","architect_builder":"E.
