Stevenson Peters House
Stevenson Peters House

The Stevenson Peters House is a historic farm complex near the city of Circleville in Pickaway County, Ohio, United States. Built in the mid-19th century, the complex has been named a historic site. Stevenson Peters was descended from one of Pickaway County's earliest families of settlers. By the mid-19th century, Peters had made himself one of Walnut Township's most extensive landowners. On the present property he erected the present house in 1852, and here he resided until his death in 1887. Later generations of the Peters family owned the property until 1978, when it was inherited by a family named Bartholomew. Accordingly, it has also been known as the "Peters-Bartholomew Residence."Peters' farmhouse is a brick double-pen building with four-over-four windows, two-and-a-half stories tall and five bays wide. Because of its location on a hill, the house appears especially large to the viewer and can be seen from a particularly long distance. Nine additional buildings are located on the farmstead, which encompasses approximately 2 acres (0.81 ha) around the house.In 1984, the Peters House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its distinctive historic architecture. Six of the ten buildings on the farmstead qualified as contributing properties, while the other four were deemed non-contributing. Particularly crucial to this designation was its four-over-four design, which represented an uncommon variation in its rural area.

Redlands (Circleville, Ohio)
Redlands (Circleville, Ohio)

Redlands is a historic farmhouse near the city of Circleville in the south-central part of the U.S. state of Ohio. A grand home built in the middle of the 19th century, it has been named a historic site. Constructed in 1858, Redlands was originally the home of one of Pickaway County's more prosperous farmers, Jacob Valentine. The farmhouse itself is a brick structure, built of bricks manufactured on the farm; its foundation and minor elements are stone, and additional buildings on the property are weatherboarded. Its construction and its numerous decorative elements combine to make it typical of estates built for wealthy southern Ohio landowners soon before the Civil War. Particularly significant among these elements are the Greek Revival front porch, transoms above the windows and doors, its prominent fireplaces, and its grand front stairway.Besides the residence, the farmstead comprises three outbuildings: two historic buildings, which are vernacular structures that had been completed by 1860, and one that lacks historic integrity. In 1982, Redlands was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its well-preserved historic architecture; the house and the two historic outbuildings were ranked as contributing, and the non-historic outbuilding was considered non-contributing. Crucial to the farm's designation was its status as an intact gentleman's estate from the end of the pre-Civil War period.
