Summary edit

Description

From Wikipedia:

Oak Hill is a historic former farmhouse in the southern part of the U.S. state of Ohio. Located along Dun Road in Ross County,[1] it is one of the finest examples of sandstone farmhouses in the vicinity of the city of Chillicothe.[2]

The house was built by George William Dun, a native of Scotland who settled near Chillicothe in 1838. Almost immediately upon taking up residence at the site, he began the construction of his house, which was completed in 1840. A large two-story building constructed in the Federal style of architecture, it represents an American version of the British Adam style.[2]

In 1973, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its well-preserved historic architecture.[1] It received this recognition for multiple reasons: the massive hardwood trees on the grounds evoke a sense of antiquity; the exterior is better preserved than that of almost any other period sandstone house; and the interior retains much of its original condition, including much furniture once owned by George Dun's ancestors.
