Centerville (Ohio)
Montgomery County (Ohio)
Description
The
original
two-room
cottage
with
attic
and
cellar
of the
Walton
House
was
built
as a
hall
and
parlor
in the
vernacular
style
. The
rough-cut
limestone
is
placed
with
larger
and
smaller
stones
forming
a
pattern
similar
to
Flemish
bond
brickwork
. There
is
an
attractive
wooden
dental
frieze
under
the
boxed
gutters
and
paneling
surrounds
the
two
front
doors
. There are
two
fireplaces
,
one
at
each
end
. The
front
room
contains
the
original
tight
winder
stairs
,
built-in
cupboard
and
wide
floorboards
.
Evidence
of
fossils
,
especially
shells
of
brachiopods
from the
Ordovician
Period
, are
apparent
in the
limestone
path
at the
back
of the
house
. An
addition
of
six
more
rooms
and a
garage
were
added
later
.
Henry
Reece
, a
Welsh
stonemason
from
Lebanon
,
Ohio
,
is
believed
to have
built
the
house
. The
house
is
one
of
fourteen
stone
houses
in the
architectural
preservation
district
in the
old
village
area
of
Centerville
.
Built
between
1800
and
1840
, the
houses
reflect
the
area's
abundance
of
limestone
and the
availability
of
laborers
familiar
with
stonework
. They
range
in
size
from
