Granville Road in Worthington, Ohio, was built in the mid-19th century. The original inventory gives 1855 as its date, and a 1991 correction changed this to 1860. It rests on an uncoursed rubble foundation and has horizontal bevel siding and a gable roof with shingles. Its front has two bays and its side has three. It was built for Jonathon Park before the Civil War and later bought by Winifred P. Vest, a teacher who also worked as a carpenter. Vest added the Victorian porches across the facade and rear wing, the two-story rear wing, and a lattice work gazebo in the side yard. He is said to have built many frame houses in the community during the second half of the 19th century. The house is valued as an example of 19th century frame architecture in Worthington.
