It is also tied to James Stanton, a Quaker elder and humanitarian who served as treasurer of the Springboro Meeting and of the Indian Affairs committee of the Indiana Yearly Meeting, and who helped free and relocate Black people from Virginia.","narrative":"Greenhill is a brick farmhouse and farm complex about one mile north of Springboro in Warren County, Ohio. James Stanton built the two-and-a-half-story house in 1826 on what was originally a 114-acre farm. The nominated three acres include the house, privy, corn crib, barn and springhouse. The front elevation uses Flemish bond brick and a symmetrical three-bay facade, with a Greek Revival portico that has been slightly altered. Inside, reeded mantels, chair rails, Latin cross doors and hewn walnut rafters marked with Roman numerals survive. Stanton, born in Virginia in 1779, was a Quaker elder who served as treasurer of the Springboro Meeting and of the Indiana Yearly Meeting's committee on Indian affairs. Before moving to Ohio he acted as a legal agent in Virginia and freed several hundred slaves, and later he brought many Black people north. Five generations of his family occupied the farm until 1959. At listing, the barn and corn crib were deteriorating and a housing development threatened the site.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"James Stanton","architectural_style":"Federal vernacular","criteria":[],"status_note":"Farm buildings include a barn and corn crib described as endangered by neglect and deterioration; the property was said to be threatened by a proposed housing development.
