Description
Colonel
George
Newcom
,
one
of
Dayton's
first
settlers
,
constructed
this
two-story
log
house
in
1796
.
Newcom
engaged
Robert
Edgar
, a
millwright
, to
build
"the
best
house
in
Dayton.
" The
original
house
consisted
of
one
room
upstairs
and
one
room
on the
ground
floor
, with a
door
facing
the
river
. In
1798
, a
two-story
addition
was
added
south
of the
original
structure
, with a
new
door
facing
Main
Street
.
George
Newcom
was a
veteran
of
General
Anthony
Wayne's
campaign
against
the
Indians
and
led
one
of
three
groups
of
original
settlers
that
headed
north
from
Cincinnati
to
Dayton
in
1796
. He and his
wife
, the
former
Mary
Henderson
,
chose
lot
#13
on
which
to
build
their
new
home
. In
1800
,
Mary
gave
birth
to
one
of the
first
white
children
born
in
Dayton
, their
daughter
Jane
.
Since
the
tavern
was a
large
two-story
building
,
it
soon
became
the
center
of
village
activity
, as
well
as
overnight
lodging
for
travelers
. The
first
court
sessions
were
held
in the
tavern
, and
it
served
as a
place
for
school
and
church
services
.
During
this
period
George
Newcom
became
a
prominent
civic
leader
,
serving
as
Dayton's
first
innkeeper
, and
Montgomery
County's
first
sheriff
and
jailer
. He was
elected
to the
Ohio
Senate
in
1815
,
succeeded
Benjamin
Van
Cleve
in the
office
of
clerk
of the
court
, and
became
president
of
Dayton's
first
bank
. The
Newcoms
sold
the
tavern
in
1815
, and
ownership
changed
several
times
during
the
next
twenty
years
. In
1838
,
Joseph
Shaffer
purchased
the
structure
at a
Sheriff's
auction
and
converted
it
into a
general
store
. The
building
remained
"
Shaffer's
Store
" for the
next
56
years
. In
1894
,
architect
Charles
Insco
Williams
started
to
raze
it
to
make
way
for an
apartment
building
when
removal
of the
clapboards
revealed
the
original
logs
.
John
Cotterill
owned
the
building
and
offered
to
donate
it
to the
city
,
provided
it
was
moved
off
the
property
.
Acting
on the
recommendations
of the "
Log
Cabin
Committee
" the
city
approved
moving
the
tavern
to
Van
Cleve
Park
.
John
H
.
Patterson
,
founder
of The
National
Cash
Register
Company
,
paid
for the
move
. The
Daughters
of the
American
Revolution
raised
money
by
public
subscription
to have
it
restored
, and the
Dayton
Historical
Society
was
organized
to
operate
it
as a
museum
. In the
1960s
, the
Montgomery
Historical
Society
donated
the
tavern
and
related
collections
to
Carillon
Historical
Park
.
Newcom
Tavern
made
its
final
move
in the
fall
of
1964
.
Today
,
now
Dayton's
oldest
standing
building
,
Newcom
Tavern
stands
in
Carillon
Historical
Park
,
approximately
two
miles
south
of its
original
site
.
