This property stands in Washington Township. History of Franklin County [Ohio]:, published 1858 gives that township a chapter of its own.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 2,512 specimens collected within 10 miles of Charles Mitchell House between 1804 and 1975: 2,439 Animalia, 40 Plantae, 28 Fungi, 3 Unrecorded, 2 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A C Whitney, A. J. P., A. J. Penniman and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists 1 working within 5 miles of Charles Mitchell House: 1 past producer. None of them still produces. What was taken out: Limestone, General. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

When this property was proposed for the National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is, and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain. It is reproduced in full on its own page, word for word and never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s typewriter's.

The whole case file for this property - 559 words, 5 pages, reproduced complete.

Quoted from the National Register nomination for reference 79002890, 5 pages, held by the National Archives in Record Group 79. See the catalogue record.
