Casstown Lutheran Stone Church
Casstown Lutheran Stone Church

The Casstown Lutheran Stone Church is a historic former church building in the village of Casstown, Ohio, United States. Built in the late 1830s, it was home to one of the region's earliest Lutheran congregations for just a short time before being converted for profane use. Its solid stone construction has made it architecturally important, and it has been named a historic site. One story tall, the building is a simple stone structure with a basic gabled roofline; the sides are divided into four bays with windows, while the front has a central entrance with one window on each side. Unlike most other stone buildings, constructed of ashlar stone, the church in Casstown is built of rough, comparatively unworked stone. Its roof is of a rare form: the wooden beams supporting the roof form a fuller truss system than in many comparable buildings, and the complex system of pegs and mutually supporting beams enables the roof to stand without any interior load-bearing walls whatsoever.Casstown's first Lutherans organized a church around 1835, just four years after the Evangelical Lutheran Joint Synod of Ohio was formed. Composed largely of emigrants from Pennsylvania, the congregation had no church building in its earliest years, so the members worshipped in that of the village's Methodist Episcopal congregation. Construction of the present building began in 1839, and upon its completion in the following year, the Lutherans left the Methodist building and occupied their own edifice. It remained their home for little more than a quarter century, as the congregation erected a larger brick building and moved to it in 1867. Following this time, it was converted into a residence, with two of its more prominent inhabitants being C.R. and Eunice Randall.In 1984, the old church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It qualified for historic designation both because of its architecture and because of its place in the area's history, for it was considered to represent an important stage in the emigration of Pennsylvania Lutherans to western Ohio. One of more than forty National Register sites in Miami County, it is the only one in Casstown.

Overfield Tavern
Overfield Tavern

The Overfield Tavern is an early-nineteenth-century tavern located along the banks of the Great Miami River in Troy, Ohio. It is currently open to the public as a house museum. The main structure was built by Benjamin Overfield in 1808 and served as an inn and tavern until Overfield's death in 1831. The Overfield Tavern is the oldest surviving building in Troy, and one of the oldest buildings in Ohio. In 1976 the structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Overfield Tavern is believed to be the first house built in Troy. Additionally, the tavern served as Troy's first courthouse, with court held intermittently from 1808 to 1811. In the summer of 1807, the site of Troy was selected as the county seat of Miami County and platted by Andrew Wallace late that year. Benjamin Overfield purchased Lot 2 and completed the construction of his tavern by fall 1808. According to the Commissioners records of December 16, 1808, it was “ordered that the court to be held in Miami County shall be held in the house of Benjamin Overfield in Troy until a courthouse is built; he has agreed to furnish a room for the court to sit in, gratis, during the time or term aforesaid.” Although construction began on a new courthouse in the center of the town square a few years later, it was not completed until 1824. After a fire ravaged most of the log houses along Water Street that same year, Overfield moved his tavern business to the public square in part to be closer to the new courthouse. The property currently consists of a two-story, hewn-log building with steeple notched corners constructed in 1808 and an earlier, circa-1803 log structure attached to the north side via an enclosed dogtrot. This smaller log structure is believed to have been the original one-room log cabin constructed by Benjamin Overfield for his family. A series of one-story additions on the north and east were constructed in the mid-nineteenth century. The building displays elements of the Federal style.
