It sits on a five-acre property with a horse barn and ice house.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a late but well-preserved Italianate example, perhaps the finest in this part of the county. It was built for Samuel Piggott Brown, an early settler and prosperous farmer and businessman. It is also tied to his grandson Thaddeus Harold Brown, Ohio Secretary of State in the 1920s and 1936 Republican nominee for governor.","narrative":"Built in 1879-1880 near Fulton in Morrow County, Ohio, this two-story brick house is a late example of Italianate architecture. It rises from a cut stone foundation and has a broad overhanging cornice on paired brackets, small ornate entrance porches with gingerbread trim, and a cross-shaped plan. Inside are a curved walnut stairway and parlors with a plaster ceiling rosette and a red and black marble fireplace. Some interior changes have been made, including arched openings between rooms. The grounds include a three-story horse barn, a well with a hand pump, and a small frame building probably once used as an ice house. Samuel Piggott Brown came from Virginia in 1854 and built the house with profits from farming and business in Cardington. His grandson Thaddeus Harold Brown served as Ohio Secretary of State and ran for governor in 1936. The property was listed for its architecture, its early settler history and this political connection.","period_of_significance":"1880","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":[],"status_note":"Marked occupied and in good condition.
