The Hollencamp House is a historic residence in the city of Xenia, Ohio, United States. Constructed as the home of a prominent immigrant businessman, it has been named a historic site. Born in Germany, Bernard Hollencamp settled in Xenia, where he began operating the Hollencamp Brewery on Second Street east of the city's downtown. In later years, the brewery property was converted for three different uses: a creamery, an ice house, and a bottling company occupied the site.Hollencamp arranged for the construction of the present house in 1871 on a lot adjacent to his brewery. Designed by Samuel Patterson, an architect who was also responsible for the design of the Samuel N. Patterson House elsewhere in the city, the Hollencamp House is a brick Italianate building with a stone foundation, an asphalt roof, and elements of stone. Two stories tall with painted bricks laid in American bond, the house has an asymmetrical floor plan. The interior is divided into thirteen rooms — six of which feature fireplaces with wooden mantels — as well as four bathrooms. Comparatively few components of the house have changed since its original construction.In 1980, the Hollencamp House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically important architecture and because of its place as the home of a locally significant individual. Although it is the only building on East Second individually listed on the National Register, it lies near a Register-listed historic district, the East Second Street Historic District. The district and the Hollencamp House are historically significant as a well-preserved nineteenth-century streetscape and as surviving examples of residences for the city's wealthy during a period in the late nineteenth century when Victorian architectural styles were highly popular.

The Alexander Conner House is a historic rowhouse in Xenia, Ohio, United States. Built in 1836, this two-story brick building is a physical merger of six buildings constructed in the Greek Revival and Federal styles of architecture. It is built in the shape of the letter "U," with three buildings facing the street and two to the rear.Born in Ireland circa 1790, Alexander Conner emigrated from Ireland to the United States in young adulthood, and he settled in Xenia in 1816. Engaging in business there, he became prosperous enough to purchase a lot southeast of the county courthouse after twenty years of life in the city. On this lot he erected three buildings facing the street; they are the front portions of the present rowhouse. The rear two buildings were completed between that time and his 1865 death, upon which event the rowhouse was sold.The street-facing portions of the rowhouse are architecturally important to the city of Xenia: although the western and central buildings are Federal and the eastern is Greek Revival, they are together a typical example of housing found in many communities of southwestern Ohio before the Civil War of the 1860s. In Xenia, no other historic rowhouses have survived to the present day, and almost no Federal streetfront houses are still in existence in the city except for the western and central components. In recognition of the importance of the architecture of the rowhouse, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 28, 1987; only the original three buildings qualified as contributing properties.

Xenia College (earlier names: Xenia Female Academy, Xenia Female Seminary and Collegiate Institute, Xenia Female College) was an American educational institution located in Xenia, Ohio. Established as a private school, its management shifted after a couple of years to the Methodist Episcopal Church. Changing its name frequently during the first few years of its existence made it difficult to follow its career. Starting as the Xenia Female Academy in 1850, it became the Xenia Female Seminary and Collegiate Institute in 1854, the Xenia Female College in 1856, and Xenia College in 1863, continuing under the latter designation until it closed its doors in the latter part of the 1880s.The Xenia Female Academy was incorporated on March 22, 1850, Thomas C. Wright and eleven others being the incorporators. There were nine trustees. This was a stock company, with shares at US$50 each, real property not to exceed US$20,000, and capital stock valued at US$25 each. The curriculum and purpose of the institution was set forth as "arts and sciences and all necessary and useful branches of a thorough and useful education such as may be taught in the best female colleges and academies".At an elevation of 961 feet (293 m) MSL, this institution occupied a commanding eminence in the city of Xenia, and was accessible by railroads from all parts of Ohio. The grounds were ample for exercise, and were sufficiently shaded with forest trees and shrubbery. The buildings were commodious and well furnished, and from their situation, pupils had the fresh air, quietness and scenery of the country, with the privileges of the city.

For thirty years, the building was used as a bank, becoming the local branch of the State Bank of Ohio in 1846 and changing its name to First National Bank in 1863. After First National moved to a newer building in 1865, it was no longer used as a bank; among its later owners was A.C. Messenger, a physician who used it as his home and office. In the 1880s, the bank was a party to a lawsuit known as Xenia Bank v. Stewart, which was decided by the United States Supreme Court in 1885.Built in a heavily Greek Revival style of architecture, upon a stone foundation, the bank is a two-story structure constructed with a rectangular plan. Located along Detroit Street in downtown Xenia, its pilastered appearance is dominated by the entrance porch, which features two columns built in the Doric order. Above the columns is a small second-story balcony, which is protected by a wrought iron railing; the frieze on the balcony's side includes both metopes and triglyphs that alternate in a classical style.In 1973, the Bank of Xenia was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture.

The building is currently occupied by Byuti 73, a beauty salon.
