East End Historic District

East End is a neighborhood of roughly 230 structures on about 50 acres immediately east of Lebanon's commercial center. Most buildings are modest middle-class homes, many with frame outbuildings, though several large houses were built by prosperous merchants and businessmen. The district also holds the Warren County Courthouse, with an 1835 core and an 1894 front addition, the Sheriff's Residence and Jail, most of the city's nineteenth-century churches, an I.O.O.F. Hall from 1887 and the 1909 Ghent shoe factory. Architectural styles run from Federal houses of about 1820 through Greek Revival, Italianate, Gothic Revival, Second Empire, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival and bungalow forms. Local builders such as Ezra Craver and Amos Bennett built many of the brick houses, and George Bundy made several iron porches. Earlier houses sit in the west, while Carpenter Gothic and Queen Anne homes cluster in the east, built during the 1880s building boom. The boundaries follow the area with the least alteration.
