The house is also an important representative example of the work of local builders, believed to be the contracting firm of Beaver and Butt, prominent in the Dayton area in the mid to late nineteenth century.
The history and architecture of the Jonah Bull House reflects the history and development of this area from the mid-nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. Most Americans think of suburbs as recent developments built since the end of WWII. However, Americans have been extending their cities outward through suburban developments since the middle of the nineteenth century. Suburbs were made possible through transportation - the earliest by ferryboat and horse-drawn carriage, then followed by train, by horse-drawn omnibus, by electric streetcar (nationally introduced in 1888/locally introduced in 1895), and after 1908, by automobile. Each era Before improvements in transportation, the most desirable homes were located downtown, allowing for residents to walk between work, shopping, and church.
However by the 1850s, wealthy citizens desired houses apart from the negative qualities of the city but close enough for daily contact. Therefore, the landscape of the American city took on the shape of a donut with its urban center, a ring of working class houses, and then single family homes with private carriages for an easy commute. By the 1870s, the suburban ideals began by the upper-class elite had become the American dream and the uses of horse-drawn and later electrical trolleys made it possible. This created the more familiar landscape of a city center with suburbs developing like spokes of a The subject property is located in the neighborhood that would become Walnut Hills, a streetcar suburb.
However, before the streetcar extended this far east/southeast, the Walnut Hills neighborhood was home to substantial houses that overlooked the developing downtown and two landmark institutions. The earliest institution is Woodland Cemetery, one of the nation's five oldest rural/garden cemeteries. Woodland Cemetery shares a border with Walnut Hills and was founded in 1841 and expanded to 247 acres. It contains about 100,000monuments including headstones, mausoleuns, and obelisks and its gateway, chapel, and office are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (1978). For several decades, Woodland Cemetery was a destination for Dayton citizens. It was used as a public park - a place to visit, picnic, and enjoy views of the downtown without the dirt, smells, noise, and smog of the city.
The second institution was the construction of the Southern Ohio Lunatic Asylum in 1855 (NR Listed 1979). Around the time of construction, the site is described as, "the most beautiful in Ohio, and seems to have been specially designed by nature for such an institution. It overlooks the city of Dayton, and the Miami Valley spreads out in a magnificent panoramic view, delighting the eye and filling the heart of the beholder with awe and reverence."

These wealthy landowners purchased or inherited this land before it was valued for suburban sprawl. Instead, this land was valued for its beauty but not close enough to downtown for wealthy individuals to live here. Located approximately two-miles east/southeast of Dayton, a commute to the city by horse or horse cars would take approximately a half hour (McClelland 2002:14). However over time, as the city Dayton Becomes a City Montgomery County was officially formed in 1803. On February 12,1805, the Legislature passed an act incorporating the town of Dayton.
According to Beers, History of Montgomery County, 1882, the act provided: following limits, that is to say, beginning on the bank of the Miami where the sectional line between the second and third sections, fifth township, and Seventh Range intersects the same; thence east with said line to the middle of Section 33, second township, Seventh Range; thence north two miles; thence west to the Miami; thence down the same to the place of beginning, shall be and the same is hereby erected into a town corporate, which shall henceforth be known and distinguished by the name of the town of Dayton.
Van Buren Township Beers, Montgomery County Township, 1882, states that: --The history of this civil subdivision of Montgomery County is, to a great extent, identical with that of the city and township of Dayton - fourteen sections, whole and fractional, or nearly one half of the territory included within its present boundaries, were originally a part of the famous tract known as "The Seventh and Eighth Ranges'. Field surveys revealed that there were thirty- five or thirty-six different tracts of land in what is now Van Buren Township. Dayton was a common center and immediately after the arrival of the permanent colony in 1796, a portion of the lands now included in Van Buren Township were selected and occupied by members of that first band of pioneers. One of the very early settlers in the Dayton Colony was John Folkerth.
He owned land where the Insane Asylum now stands, and lived in that vicinity until his death. He was a prominent business man in Dayton for many years. One of the earliest points settled in Van Buren Township was in the vicinity of what is now known as Beavertown. Ebenezer Wead came from near Lexington, Kentucky. In 1798 he entered lands in Section 24 (fractional), Town 2, Range 6, at the United States Land Office in Cincinnati in that year, and in the following year he made it his permanent home. His sons were --That such part of the township of Dayton in the county of Montgomery as is included in the Also that: began to grow and transportation improved, this area became more valuable, leading to subdivisions.

Robert purchased eighty acres of land from John Folkerth, where the asylum is now located. This he settled on and improved, and afterward added to, until he owned 320 acres. His son John S Wead inherited the fine farm in the southeast quarter of Section 32, Town 2, Walnut Hills Development Railroad and Horse car suburbs were established nationwide between 1840 and 1890.
They have been commonly called borderlands and described as, "houses so far apart that even in winter they cast shadows on their own lots...Are ordered about a carriage and horseback pace, not a pedestrian one." (McClelland 2002:14) This area of Dayton was never organized or recognized as a railroad or horse car suburb. However, its development mirrors this movement by private individuals and organized horse-drawn omnibuses. Walnut However, the density of this area began to change within the next few decades. This can be seen by comparing the 1851 atlas with the 1869 and 1872 atlases. (Figures 6, 8, 9) In 1851, the landholdings are large with little organized development. Nearby lands are dedicated to stone quarries. There are a few major landowners and landholders. Two of the earliest landholders were Robert Edgar and Ebenezer Wead.
The area did not receive Sanborn map coverage until 1918, by this time, the infill of smaller lots around the Bull House can be readily Avenue as Wyoming Ave., still some half a mile or more further to the northwest of the Bull property. (Figures Robert Edgar came to Dayton in September 1795, with Daniel C. Cooper (founder of Dayton), as chain-carrier, and in 1796 returned and remained as a citizen. Ebenezer Wead came to Dayton from Lexington, Kentucky, in 1799. Both had children and these children inherited land in the immediate area. The year before he had entered fractional Section 24 of Range 7, in Van Buren Township, where he settled. He had two sons - John and Robert, a tailor by trade. In 1805 Robert Wead bought 80 acres of land where the Insane Asylum now stands, and by hard work gradually purchased more land, until he had 320 acres.
He first married Jane Gibson, by whom he had two children. One of them - John Stewart Wead - inherited the farm southwest of the Asylum, on which he lived for over fifty years, and died in 1893. Robert Edgar built his homestead in the vicinity and planned to use part of his 160 total acres for a limestone quarry - one of several in the area. Part of Edgar's land was quarried for crushed limestone that was used to Samuel Edgar inherited the land and donated part of the land to build the Southern Ohio Lunatic Asylum at the top of the hill along Wayne Avenue - the building directly across Wilmington Avenue from the Jonah Bull House. Robert Edgar's lasting impression on the area can most strongly be seen in the two large homes he built for his daughters. Both of these homes are now funeral homes on Wayne Avenue.
The Edgar homes were constructed in the mid-1860s and represent the movement of wealthy citizens to the outskirts of Dayton. At the time of construction this area was located on high ground overlooking downtown. Their locations would have allowed for large lots with outbuildings but also travel to downtown would have been possible.

This allowed the city's housing for middle-class residences to extend, and houses were built within a 5-to-10 minute walk of the streetcar line (McClelland 2002:13). Walnut single-family residences.
During the early twentieth century, Walnut Hills and other neighborhoods nearby became popular places to live due to the safe location away from possible floodwaters like those of the 1913 flood. Later, the area became and others. Many local businesses and stores (such as Esther Price Candies) united through civic and religious organizations, such as St. Anthony Catholic Church and Ohmer Park Methodist Episcopal church. The 1918 Sanborn maps, updated in 1932, 1950, and again in 1955 show the building boom in this neighborhood with infill of small residential lots and comparatively smaller housing stock comprised mostly of one and a half story bungalows. (See Figures 24, 26, 27) Parks, such as the Walnut Hills Park, established in 1926, met the recreational needs of the local residents. Wayne Avenue was transformed from a residential street to a commercial street leading to downtown.
Several older commercial structures are still standing along with former single-family residences converted to commercial buildings, and recent modern commercial chains have started to build in this neighborhood. The buildings are sited on both vacant lots, and in some cases older structures are being demolished. Development south of the subject property is representative of the automobile suburb with most of its buildings dating from the late 1920s and 1940s and designed in the Minimal Traditional style. The Wayne and Wilmington avenues intersection is characterized as high volume. Its Y-shape and buildings located on all corners makes it difficult for altering traffic patterns.

Wead's son inherited this land in Section 32 and farmed the fertile property. It is likely that during this time the c. 1820 three-bay threshing An 1851 Atlas Map of Mad River Township and Van Buren Township shows that Sam D. Edgar owned and that Robert Wead's son J.S. Wead (also misspelled as Wade) farmed land in Section 32. (Figure 6) An 1869 atlas of these townships confirms that S. D. Edgar still owned the land in Section 33 plus a small plot in Sam Edgar had previously owned.
In 1872, Sam Edgar sold the property to Jonah Bull. The 1872 Montgomery County tax records show a ten-fold increase in property value during that year, indicating major construction on the property - the building of the house that now resides there. Jonah Bull purchased 4.01 acres of land from Edgar. Bull purchased four acres of land, and a substantial increase in tax records indicates that he built the existing about 12 years. He married Eliza Jane Braden in 1835 and had six children. The city directories show Jonah Bull, farmer, residing at the west side of Wayne Avenue opposite the Asylum from 1875 to 1881-1882. Living with him during most of this time is one of his sons - William Hamer Bull. He is listed as working at the Asylum as an attendant. The first listing for Jonah's other son Taylor is in 1882-83.
Taylor is also listed as a farmer living on Shakertown Pike, Van Buren Township. In 1883-1884 Taylor is listed as living at Shakertown Pike, Van Buren Township, and Jonah is listed as a farmer living on Shakertown Pike, near Wayne. It is not clear if Jonah and Taylor were living in the same residences. The 1894 obituary states that Jonah died at age eighty-two and the funeral was at his house on Shakertown Pike opposite the Asylum. From Edgar, 1896: --Jonah James Bull, farmer, P. O. Dayton, was born in Greene County, Ohio, February 28, 1812, a son of Thomas and Isabella Bull. His father was of English descent, born in 1763, on Bull's settlers there. Jameson was his mother's maiden name. She was of Irish parentage, born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in 1784. They immigrated to Ohio in 1800, and later bore two sons - Jefferson and Jonah J. Jonah was raised to farm life.
From the time he was eight years old, the time when his mother married her second husband, he lived with his grandmother, and with her aid, managed her affairs till twenty-four years of age. He worked at whatever he could get to do by the day or by the month. On coming to Montgomery County, Jonah purchased a fine farm in Van Buren Township, Montgomery County, where he resided -all the fruits of his own industry, aided by his good wife.

At age 60, property in Section 33, Robert Wead (misspelled as Wade) owned land in Section 26 (adjacent to Section 32), home. Bull remained at the house until 1881 and was active in the community, serving as a township trustee for Run, in Virginia.

To them six children were born. Bull appears to have been a successful farmer and like his neighbors, the Ohmers and Edgars, his house is an indication of his status in the community. It is a large two-story brick home with fine details.
His lot of four- acres would not have been enough for large-scale farming. It is assumed he was farming at his leisure. His reason for leaving Greene County and moving here is unknown. By 1881 Jonah Bull had amassed many debts and lawsuits. In 1881, Jonah Bull failed to pay on judgments against him and the property was sold to Samuel B. Bigger. He then moved up the road to his son's house where he died on April 25, 1894 at the age of 82 and is buried in Woodland Cemetery in Dayton, Ohio, just blocks from his old homestead. Sam Bigger was a treasurer for the First Presbyterian Church. In 1892 he Bigger sold the remaining property (2.38 acres) to Jeanette Kress. Jeanette Kress was the wife of Samuel Kress. Samuel Kress was a self-made man. His specialty was dealing in men's clothing.
His business built up an extensive reputation in Dayton, in the handling of clothing, hats, and men's furnishings. His company was known as the Sam Kress Company. In 1910 he became a Deacon in the First Presbyterian Church. Louis & Mary Loeber bought the house from Kress in 1946. Dr Loeber was a prominent medical doctor and had a practice on Xenia Ave in Dayton. He was a graduate of the University of Dayton as well as the University of Cincinnati Medical School. Dr Loeber was a member of the Phi Chi Alumni. He had practiced medicine in the Dayton area for over 50 years, and was a past president of the Dayton General Practioneers Association. He was known to often perform medical services from the confines of his own home. His earnings allowed him to maintain and update parts of the original Bull house. Dr Loeber passed away in 1988. His wife inherited the place till her death in 1992.
None of their four children (three sons and a daughter) were interested in keeping the house and property, so they sold it to Stephen and Sheila Benning in 1994.

10-90) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Bull, Jonah, House Section number 8 Page 13 Montgomery County, Ohio The Jonah Bull House has both Italianate and later Colonial Revival details. The Latin cross plan is most commonly known in religious architecture, it is characterized by one longer gable-front wing bisected by a shorter cross gable wing. Often this uncommon variation is classified as a Gabled Ell or T-plan in domestic towns. The Jonah Bull House is a representative example of this plan with its long wing facing the road and decorated with a full-width porch. At the time of construction, the Italianate was the dominant architectural style. However, after the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, Colonial Revival styles dominated American architecture.
Because of this, several older homes were updated with Colonial Revival details. The Jonah Bull House clearly illustrates this movement. The house's form and several characteristics express its early architectural style; however sometime between 1920 and 1950 the house was renovated. It is likely that some of this work was done during the house's first known major renovation in 1947 when the previous owners decorative wood molding and plaster work in the interior, and a large multi-light picture window on the south (side) elevation. Landscape features of the gazebo and pergola also contribute to the Colonial Revival influence of the grounds. Italianate Architecture. According to Virginia and Lee McAlester's A Field Guide to American Houses, the Italianate style originated in England and the pattern books of Andrew Jackson Downing popular in the U.S.
between 1840 and 1885, and dominated new construction between 1850 and 1880. The McAlesters state, "It was particularly common in the expanding towns and cities of the Midwest as well as in many older but still growing cities of the northeastern seaboard." And according to Stephen C. Gordon's How to Complete the Ohio Historic Inventory, this architectural style was the most popular in the southern states due to the financial hardships resulting from the Civil War. By 1873, the Italianate style had begun its decline, antagonized by the country's financial panic and the subsequent depression. Some common characteristics of the Italianate style are the arched and curved elements that often appear additions." Large pane glass doors, versus multi-pane doors, first became popular with this style. Also Italianate dwellings are typically two or three stories, with low-pitched roofs.
There are many subtypes within the Italianate style, which include the simple hipped-roof, the centered-gable, the asymmetrical, the towered, the front-gabled roof, and the townhouse. (Pleasant Hill nomination) The Cross Plan in Montgomery County Cross plan and gabled ell type houses can be found in surprisingly concentrated numbers in Montgomery and Preble counties.

See Figure 22. Closer inspection reveals several properties that share distinctive characteristics, which may imply a local building firm constructed the Bull House that was prevalent in the area at the time the house was constructed. Of all these homes in the area, most were built later than the Bull house and were built with small, urban lots that fit precisely into the suburban neighborhoods developing in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
The Bull house appears to be among the last remaining cross plan, Italianate homes built before the area began to develop; a vestige of this rural character that once typified the Walnut Hills area. Key definingcharacteristics of these properties in the immediate area that respond comparatively to the Bull House: load bearing brick construction, cross plan configuration with a long, 2-3 bay wide gable end axis and short cross-lateral wings, low pitched roofline, limestone water table topping a cut stone foundation, semicircular arched window in gable, bull's eye window in cross gable, stone lintel with brackets, plain stone sill with brackets, tall, narrow double hung, 4/4 or greater, windows. Additional features also include eaves with modillion shaped brackets, embellished cornice and frieze with eave returns, and embellished door surrounds including bracketed lintels.
Architectural similarities between the John Butt House (MOT313857), located in the Oregon Historic District about 2 miles to the northwest. The Bull house, and both the Nicolas Ohmer and Michael Ohmer houses are apparent in their overall form, in the Italianate features, and in the large lots and setbacks the homes share a remnant of their rural past. The importance of the Butt House is that it does have an identified builder, John Ohmer house. Additionally the comparison between the Ohmer houses and the Bull house suggest that they share a common builder. Contractor John Butt built his Victorian Italianate house two doors north on Jackson Street, circa 1864, doorway is framed by a semi-circular arch with keystone and a tall shaped top on which are mounted plain pilasters, brackets and a molded shelf...

They employed as many as 500 men when they rebuilt the Lebanon Public Hall in 1877-78. In Dayton, they built the Kuhns Building and rebuilt the Turner Opera House (now the Victory Theatre) into Music Hall following a disastrous fire in 1869. Both of these buildings are on the National Register. They also did the carpentry work for St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church (now St. Paul United Methodist Church), which is within the district. The interior of Mr. Beaver's house reflects the quality of craftsmanship and of style in the decorative woodwork. (Huffman Historic District nomination) Two brothers, Nicholas and Michael Ohmer, purchased large parcels and established themselves on the same picturesque hill within blocks from the Jonah Bull House.
The Nicholas Ohmer House is located at 1350 Creighton Avenue and was listed to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 (Refnum 74001580). In addition to the Latin cross plan, these homes are similar to the subject property through their Italianate details and interior features such as elaborate woodwork, doors with transoms, and seven marble fireplaces. (See Figures 14 and 15) Also, principal rooms in the Nicholas Ohmer have retained their elaborate ceiling decorations. Nicholas Ohmer, the oldest son, inherited the family business of confectionaries and a restaurant. He expanded the business into a restaurant chain that extended east to Columbus and west to St. Louis. Ohmer was also interested in fruits and flowers, so he purchased a 108-acre fruit farm on the outskirts of downtown and erected his home there in 1864 (a portion of the land was purchased from Edgars).
The two-story brick Nicholas Ohmer House is a superb example of a southern Ohio, mid-Victorian farmhouse. Laid out in the shape of a Latin cross, the shorter, east-west axis bisects the longer, north- south axis midway. Both sections are gable roofed. The entrance is located in the right bay of the three- bay front (south) façade. It is recessed behind an arched opening over which there is a simple bracketed hood. All of the windows are shuttered and there is a small, round-arched window in the gable. One- story porches with elaborate, carved wood columns and brackets are placed on the west façade on either side of the centrally projecting gable end. The east façade is similar, though more elaborate, with a two- story porch at the northernmost end. On the north façade there is a half octagonal, latticed summer kitchen. The summer kitchen has the original brick floor.
All of the porches are original, though the carved "Eastlake" woodwork is a later modification. There is an elaborately denticulated frieze and bracketed cornice at the roofline. The entire structure is presently painted white...The interior architecture of the Ohmer House has been preserved. Elegant pine woodwork is heavily molded in Victorian patterns. The transoms have retained their original etched frosted glass. Seven marble fireplaces show high craftsmanship and the marble of the parlor decorations. (Nicholas Ohmer House National Register nomination) Figure 18 shows the west and south elevations of the Nicholas Ohmer House. Note the similarity in the overall form and massing. The Nicholas Ohmer house features a long north to south axis, emphasizing a linear form, was one of the largest firms in the city.
Specializing in general construction, planning, millwork and the mantel is of exceptional quality. The principal rooms have retained their elaborate plaster ceiling NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 (Rev. 10-90) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Bull, Jonah, House Section number 8 Page 16 Montgomery County, Ohio interrupted briefly by cross lateral wing extensions. Figure 19 shows the east and north elevations displaying these similar features to the Bull house. Figure 3 is an interior shot of the Ohmer House that showcases the elaborate marble fireplace and chandelier that is also comparable with the Bull House interior. Figure 4 displays the floor-to-ceiling windows, crown molding, ceiling medallion, and large chandelier - the exact same features that have been used in the Bull House.
Figure 7 shows the Nicholas Ohmer house in its original farm setting, much in the same manner as the Bull House was originally. The Michael Ohmer house was built around 1853 and is located at 1421 Phillips Avenue (MOT-5056-61) Michael Ohmer was a successful cabinet and furniture maker and a member of one of Dayton's early prominent families. The Michael Ohmer House has a central hall and side passage. The interior doorways have plain molding, where the Bull House showcases ornate detailed molding. Michael Ohmer was instrumental in connecting the Wayne and Fifth Street Railway.This railway was chartered in 1871 and connected North the Jonah Bull House. front and wings. The Victorian gable-front and wing share a common right angle intersection of their Victorian Italianate decorative detailing. This floorplan has a central hall and side passage.
Over the past century, the house has remained essentially intact; however there have been substantial alterations, an extremely destructive fire, little scheduled maintenance, and severe neglect until the 1980s. The house was subdivided (ca. 1920) into a double with a total of three living units for rental purposes and occupied multiple tenants. Former owners/tenants also stripped the Victorian of original chandeliers, stained or etched glass, and the marble fireplace mantels...The house was designed to reflect the qualities of the owner, Michael Ohmer, who cherished the home for many years.
Some of these attractive features include: Large, front-facing center gable, detailed by a cornice line of decorative brackets set along a continuous paneled band; entrance sediment; [sic] A side porch, supporting decorative cast-iron supports; Recessed segmental windows with stone window pediments and flanking operable shutters which fit flush within the recessed window frame; Secondary cross gable with continuous bracketed eaves and paneled band; Second story balcony with decorative scallop trim; Traditional pale color scheme, with deep forest green on the pediments and detailing, and taupe shutters; Flowing interior floor plan, flooded by natural light through traditional high windows; An original built-in walnut cabinet and glass doors built-by the staircase with a portal window of frosted and stained glass at the landing just before the second floor.
(OHI #MOT-5056-61) (Figure 15, 17) It is important to note the similarity of the Ohmer houses to the Butt House, the Nicholas Ohmer house in particular features a comparable bracketed cornice and frieze, semicircular arched window in the gable end façade, similar door surround to the main entry and bracketed lintel and sills on the windows. All of these Dayton with the Dayton State Hospital (former Southern Ohio Lunatic Asylum) located across the street from main section and wings.

However, this contrasts greatly when viewed from the side elevations of the homes.
