This well constructed house faces south along Lower Green Valley Road and is surrounded by neighboring cornfields. The brick house is the only structure original to the property. A 1970s detached garage to the west of the house and the small log structure at the rear of the house are non- contributing structures located on the current acreage. The ca. 1850 log structure was moved to the property Quadrangle, 1915, 15 minute series). Characteristic features of the house design include symmetrical five-bay façade with center door flanked by two windows on the first and second floors, asymmetrical floor plan that is two rooms wide and two rooms deep with a side gabled roof with very little overhang; 16" common bond, solid brick walls, 5-bays with flat 31', one-story rear extension with a standing seam metal roof, which gives the house an L-Shape.

Exterior alterations can be seen in comparison to historic photographs and include removal of a flat-roofed front porch with chamfered columns, the side porch on the rear portion of the house that featured similar chamfered been replaced with asphalt shingles on the main portion of the house, likely caused by water damage due to neglect that the house experienced over time. Historic photos show two over two windows, which have been replaced with vinyl, double hung 6 over 6 windows. The front door has been replaced with a 6-paneled door with more recent surround of pilasters and plain entablature (Historic photos HP #1-4).

Two iron tie bars, which run the width of the first and second floor ceilings, were added at some point to reinforce the structure. window trim and chair rail at the halfspace landing. Several of the original stair risers and treads have been replaced, again due to severe damage over time.

Three of four exterior wall fireplaces still exist and the second floor retains the original plank flooring, six paneled, mortise and tenon, "cross and bible" doors and original window and door trim and chair rails Description Distinctive interior features include a steep, narrow stairway turning against the western chimney to occupy as inspection of the basement reveals interior load-bearing walls running perpendicular to the facade and parallel located on the property nor is it original to the 300 acres previously associated with the house (Fredericktown columns, and the brick corbelling on the upper portion of both end chimneys.The original roof material has sandstone lintels and sills,and interior end chimneys(Photo # 1).The house is 41'wide and 24'deep with a from another location in the 1980s and is not original to the property.

The window trim of all of the windows in the main portion of the house are 12"-16" wide and summer kitchen portion of the rear ell was wood sided, the current siding is newer wood and the window on the east side has been enlarged. Alterations of the interior due to periods of neglect, water damage and deterioration include covering the original flooring with new pine flooring and replacement door trim and baseboards on the first floor.

A first floor bathroom and laundry area was added at the north wall of the main portion of the house by additions of interior walls. These additional accommodations reduce the size of the original space very little. A built-in cupboard replaced the fireplace that once adorned the west wall of the current dining room. The remaining fireplaces, one located at the first floor east wall has been re-bricked and a mantel added in 1986, both upstairs fireplaces feature simple, plain wood mantels and are in working condition. The original hearthstones are still intact on all of the remaining fireplaces. Accommodations for a second floor bathroom can be seen as the larger second floor room was separated to create a smaller bedroom on the north-facing wall and a bathroom on the south-facing wall.

These changes created an open or "sitting" area on the south facing wall as well as a north/south hallway to enter the second bedroom. A small portion of the second bedroom was enclosed to create closet space, the only storage space of Family histories indicate that the bricks in the house were made at the Factory Kiln on Harcourt Road just a few miles southeast in Mount Vernon, Ohio.

The house type can be best described as a 2-story, 5-bay, double-pile without the center hall plan frequently associated with the type. This house form is influenced by formal, symmetrical Georgian forms coming from England and Central Europe that appear along the eastern United States during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. In New Jersey, the 2-story, 5-bay, double-pile houses began to appear in the second conducive to such a rectangular plan became the dominant house form.

Before the Revolutionary War, the type was associated in New Jersey with the wealthiest, uppermost 5% of households, but after the war it began a was far more widespread and prevalent, obtainable by an estimated upper third of the population.' The Loveridge House reflects this house type through its symmetrical, five bay façade, side gable roof with end chimneys, and two-story double-pile plan with rear kitchen ell. This early house type also features common bond brick building material and cut sandstone foundation, window lintels and sills. Along with a narrow staircase that wraps around the western chimney, and original window trim on both the first and second floors, the house retains interior mortise and tenon doors, and four original fireplaces including the large cooking fireplace in the rear ell wing of the house.

The sandstone for the foundation was transported from the Kokosing before Knox County was organized.' Knox County is part of the United States Military District (USMD) land survey along with all or part of Franklin, Delaware, Licking, Morrow, Noble, Marion, Holmes, Coshocton, Muskingum, Tuscarawas and Guernsey counties. The USMD was established by a Congressional Act in 1796 to grant bounty land to Continental Army officers and soldiers. 'Hill, N.N., History of Knox County, Mount Vernon, 1881 The founding of Mount Vernon began in the early 19th century and the town was platted in 1805, three years slow spread downward in the socio-economic scale, so that by the middle of the 19 century such a house type significant early example of a rural vernacular property type in the Mount Vernon, Knox County area.

House types associated with the building traditions of these areas are reflected in the early buildings of the region, including the Loveridge House.?

Early 19t century houses displaying a 2-story, double-pile gable roof type are found within the counties of the USMD, Ohio Historic Inventory documents 248 examples of the form built between 1830 and 1850 occurring both in towns and rural townships such as Mount Vernon, Fredericktown, Mount Liberty and Gambier in Knox County. The information on the survey form does not distinguish between examples with or without center halls. Another commonly found house type within the USMD settlement region is the 2-story, 3-5 bay, single-pile house plan. The Ohio Historic Inventory records Richard and Ann Loveridge House is an example of this pattern that helps to trace the impact of the Georgian form on American house types and westward settlement patterns during the first half of the 19 century.

Within the Loveridge House's location of Morris Township several other examples these house types have been identified. Several of these other examples have had their overall form altered by more recent additions and Before the city of Mount Vernon began to thrive the fertile farmlands north of the city were being distributed through land grants appropriated for military services. The Richard and Ann Loveridge house, now located on .897 acres was originally part of an estimated 4000 acres granted to a Mr. Lemuel Cobb via patent by President John Adams on March 2, 1799 to satisfy a warrant for military services in response to the Act of Congress passed on the 1 day of June 1796, entitled "An Act Regulating the Grants of Land Appropriated for Military and Range 13, Knox County Ohio and was deeded by Warranty Deed on September 4, 1800 (Map from "An Abstract of Title" prepared for John C.

Richard Loveridge (1779-1845) and his family are identified with the original settlement of Knox County. The family had emigrated from England to New York, and bought land in Connecticut, in the mid-1650s, then through the 5 generations, made their way to New Jersey and Ohio. As pioneers in the area, they set the standard for Knox County by developing some of the finest agricultural lands in the area using advanced farming methods for the time and constructing sophisticated homes and barns.

On April 4, 1845 the property and house appear in an "Action for Partition," due to the death of Richard "It is therefore ordered that by the oaths of James McGibeny, Joseph Adams and Isaac Nicodemus, three judicious and disinterested freeholders of said County, one full and equal part of the premises described The order further describes real estate and real property to be divided among the remaining ten Loveridge children.
