Yost Tavern
Yost Tavern

The Yost Tavern is a historic former inn in the city of Montgomery, Ohio, United States. Built in 1805, when Montgomery was founded, it remained in operation as a lodging establishment until a long period of use as a house, and it was donated to the city after being owned by the local Kiwanis chapter. It has also been named a historic site. Abraham Yost both lived and operated a tavern in the building, and his business flourished because of its location along the highway to Cincinnati. He built the structure in 1805, the year in which the village of Montgomery was incorporated. Within four years, Columbus-bound traffic was causing business to boom; Yost's customers purchased more than fifty barrels of whiskey in 1809 alone. After Yost, the building became a house alone; White Miller bought it in 1870, and his descendants remained in ownership and in residence until 1968. In the latter year, the community's Kiwanis club purchased the property, donated some of the chattels to the local historical society, and sold the remnant at public auction. The club retained the tavern for just eleven years before giving it to the Montgomery city government in 1979.Architecturally, the tavern is a simple gable-front structure with a rear lean-to. The two-story facade is pierced by four openings (a doorway and window on the first floor, and two windows on the second), with another entrance to the side. The walls are weatherboarded, set on a stone foundation and covered by a metal roof.In 1993, the old tavern was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its significant importance in community history. It is one of five locations in Montgomery to be listed on the Register, along with the Blair House, the Montgomery Saltbox Houses, the Universalist Church Historic District, and the Wilder-Swaim House. The building also has been designated as a local landmark by the Montgomery city government.

The Wilder–Swaim House is a historic house in Montgomery, Ohio, United States. Built in 1815, its oldest portion is a one-and-one-half-story building. Although it is primarily a frame structure, the house includes multiple elements of other materials, such as a brick firewall and a frieze with a bas-relief element. Its name is derived from two families that lived there for many years: the Wilders, resident from 1833 to 1879, and the Swaims, resident from 1917 to 1976.: 689 The most significant event in the house's history was a major expansion around 1840; such an expansion was a common event in early Montgomery as it transitioned from a frontier settlement to an established community.: 689  Although most of Montgomery's nineteenth-century buildings date from the first half of the century,: 567  houses as old as the Wilder–Swaim House are rare. It has been changed less by time than have many other surviving early houses; as a result, it has been seen as one of the area's best-preserved early Federal structure.: 689 In 1981, the Wilder–Swaim House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, due to its well-preserved historic architecture. It is one of five locations in Montgomery that is listed on the Register, along with the Blair House, the Montgomery Saltbox Houses, the Universalist Church Historic District, and the Yost Tavern.
