It is now the Governor's Residence.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house represents the large estate lifestyle of industrialists and businessmen who shaped Bexley as an exclusive suburb in the early twentieth century. It was built for Malcolm D. Jeffrey, a director and international division manager of the Jeffrey Manufacturing Company. In 1956 it was given to the State of Ohio for use as the governor's residence, adding to its local importance.","narrative":"Built in 1925 at 358 North Parkview in Bexley, this Jacobethan Revival house was designed by Columbus architect Robert Gilmore Hanford for Malcolm D. Jeffrey. It is a two-and-a-half-story L-shaped building of random cut stone with smooth quoins and stucco, a steep slate roof, five molded brick chimneys and a Tudor-style recessed stone doorway. Inside, stained oak paneling, decorative plaster ceilings and carved stone mantels carry the English country house theme. A solarium and bedroom were added about 1937-40, and a garden room in 1956. Jeffrey directed the international division of the family's mining machinery company during the 1920s, when it began establishing foreign subsidiaries. The house reflects the estate-style living of industrialists who settled in Bexley after streetcar service connected it to downtown Columbus. After Jeffrey's death in 1936 it passed to relatives, and in 1956 it was given to the State of Ohio to serve as the Governor's residence.","period_of_significance":"1925","architect_builder":"Robert Gilmore Hanford - architect","architectural_style":"Jacobethan Revival","criteria":["B"],"status_note":"Occupied; used as the official residence of the Governor of Ohio and owned by the State of Ohio.
