Elliott House
Also known as: Ohio Education Center
Why it's listed
Built around 1800-1802 by the Elliott family, this two-story house on Given Road in Remington, near Indian Hill, has hand-cut stone walls about two feet thick, a central-hall plan with four rooms on each floor, and a gabled roof. A rear wing with thinner stone walls and a "shotgun" room arrangement was added soon after, probably by 1820. Later owners changed the house: stucco was applied, porches were built and replaced, the central stairs and a partition were removed, and frame additions were put on at the rear, which camp use as Camp Livingston required. The nomination holds that these changes did not destroy the original character, since the additions are frame and easily removed. The house is valued as an example of early settler architecture with massive stone construction, and for the story of John Elliott's family, who came from Ireland, settled near Sycamore Creek, and operated mills. The Village of Indian Hill has owned it since 1959, and it serves as a nature study center.
Significance in brief: The nomination argues the house is an excellent example of the architecture of the area's earliest settlers, with thick walls and heavy stone construction that are rare for such an early date. It also cites the pioneer story of the Elliott family's immigration and settlement as adding to its value as part of the area's pioneer heritage.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary for a privately owned home: it does not by itself restrict what an owner may do with their own money, and it does not require public access. Restrictions come from local landmark or historic-district ordinances, which are separate (how they differ).
Owner-occupied houses are not eligible for the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit, which applies to income-producing buildings, but many states offer credits for homeowners. Listing also opens the door to preservation easements and to buying a plaque. Start with what listing means for homeowners, renovating a listed house and selling one.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
