1024-0018 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Section number - A.G. Grant Homestead Franklin County, Ohio The Grant Homestead is located on the eastern fringe of the City of Grove City, Ohio. The farmhouse, the only extant house of its kind in the city, is situated in an area of predominantly residential property with four school district facilities located within the original four hundred plus acres (photos # 1-5). This includes the Jackson Building (1870), a former school that currently houses school district offices, the original Grove City High School (1913) School and St. John's Lutheran Church which sits on the north side of Columbus Street.
The surrounding area has mixed uses that include small office buildings with several professionals: doctors, dentists, lawyers and insurance agents, whose offices are located in rehabilitated historic houses on Park Street and Haughn Road. According to city records, much of the area west of the farmhouse was developed after 1920, including a group of Cape Cod houses, with the other surrounding property being developed from the late 1950's to the The Grant Homestead sits on a two acre wooded lot that incudes several outbuildings and miscellaneous historic artifacts. Given the fact most of the outbuildings were built or moved after the period of significance, all but the milkhouse and a well are excluded from the Homestead (photos # 10;12), and is a contributing resource. It was relocated when the back porch was enclosed. Today the back porch is used as a sitting room.
The back porch was originally sided in the same manner as the milk house. The original herringbone brick walk features a circular brick wall covered by a simple gable roof hood (photos # 10;12). The farmhouse is an example of a classic I-House with subtle Greek Revival elements. The gabled roof has ridge lines that run parallel to the street. The roof configuration with two interior end chimneys has been retained. The front elevation of the farmhouse features five second floors are wood 1/1 single sash and probably date to the early 20th century. Flat sandstone lintels and sills reflect the modest Greek Revival influences. The front porch, added in 1995, was originally built without the roof in the 1920s according to the current property owner. It is her belief that the original stoop and stairs to the front entrance were replaced at the time.
The farmhouse has no windows on the side elevations (photos #5,13). The north elevation includes a one-story brick wing that was used as a kitchen, then and today, and is believed to have been added to the Grant Homestead ca. 1868 (photos # 5 and Page (8-86) Continuation Sheet National Register of Historic Places late 1960's. The most recent development includes the Sawyer Addition subdivision, built in the early 1970's, which surrounds the property to the east and the south. feet by eight (8) feet, sits approximately twenty-five feet (25) to the rear of the Grant symmetrical bays and a central entrance (photo # 1-2).

Additionally, the rear of the farmhouse has window openings on the first and second floors. The two-story, three bedroom brick house retains many of its historical materials and character, including the original stone foundation. The house itself was constructed of hand- made brick made behind the barn on the Grant property from clay found on the land. Below the kitchen is a shallow cellar which is only accessible from exterior cellar stairs (photo #11).
The interior of the house maintains many historic features, yet has also been updated to meet the needs of the property owner. The center hall entry and foyer provides access to all the rooms of the first and second floors (see floor plan). On the first floor is the dining room with a fireplace, which was updated with brick and a wood mantle in the 1950s (photo #21). The parlor also is accessed from the foyer. The original folding doors still remain, as does the fireplace which is located on the south wall (photo #22). The only update to the parlor was the installation of an entry door to the summer kitchen, currently a bathroom, by the owner. The dining room leads to a kitchen area that was believed to have been built in 1868. The kitchen originally had a window on the north side elevation, but was replaced with a door sometime earlier, and now leads to a side porch.
The kitchen still has the original and only built-in cupboard that is located in the east wall and directly beside a large brick fireplace that opening and the original door opening that lead to the back porch, originally done with wood summer kitchen can be entered from the aforementioned porch area.
