It stands in the area known as \"bankers row\". It is also notable for its massive rear porch and unusual third-floor ballroom, features suited to the size and variety of the Queen Anne style.","narrative":"Built in 1896 at 80 W. Granville Road in Worthington, this three-story frame house with horizontal siding, a stone foundation and a gable slate roof is an example of Queen Anne design. Its irregular massing includes several projecting pedimented bays. The front porch was enclosed early in the 20th century, and a small summer kitchen at the rear was once surrounded by an enormous porch. On the third floor, a ballroom with a pointed ceiling is lit partly by triangular windows. The house is associated with Lyman Gardner, who founded the Worthington Savings Bank in 1892, regarded as the first modern bank in the town. It lies in a part of Worthington known as \"bankers row\", developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The property sits along a main road in a mixed residential and commercial area, with a small detached garage at the rear and heavy landscaping. It is listed for its banking-related history and its porch and ballroom.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a residence; interior and exterior condition listed as good.
