Samuel Smith House and Tannery
Samuel Smith House and Tannery

The Samuel Smith House and Tannery is a historic residence in the village of Greenfield, Ohio, United States. Built in the 1820s, it has been named a historic site. Greenfield was founded by American Revolution veteran William Robinson Smith, a native of Pennsylvania, in 1812. Smith and his son Robert founded a tannery on the settlement's eastern edge, along Paint Creek, and built a vernacular building to house the business. After several years of operation, the tannery was taken over by William's oldest son Samuel M., who arranged for the destruction of the original building and the construction of the present house in its stead. As the years passed, Samuel Smith became a prominent physician.Built by Samuel Smith's cousin William Robinson, the Federal-style house-and-tannery was erected in 1821 and 1822. Constructed in the shape of an "L", the two-story house has walls that mix rubble masonry and ashlar, although the exterior is clad with stucco. The building rests on a stone foundation and is covered by an asphalt roof. Five bays wide with a door in the middle bay, it is one of Greenfield's oldest extant buildings.In 1978, the Smith House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its historically significant architecture and because of its place as the home of a leading community resident, Samuel M. Smith. It is one of two Greenfield buildings on the National Register, along with the Travellers' Rest Inn across the street.

Travellers' Rest Inn
Travellers' Rest Inn

The Travellers' Rest Inn is a historic inn on the main street of Greenfield, Ohio, United States. Built in the early 19th century, it has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its significance in local history. When constructed in 1812, the Travellers' Rest Inn was Greenfield's first stone building. In its earliest years, the inn served travellers at long wooden tables in a large common room. Some arrived by stagecoach; others by boats on Paint Creek, a tributary of the Scioto River. One year after being established, the community's first post office also set up at the inn, under the supervision of Noble Crawford, who had overseen the inn's construction. After Greenfield's first physician Garvin Johnson married Crawford's daughter, Johnson moved into the old inn, where he set up his doctor's office in part of it. The inn closed in 1829. The building was then used as a combined house and office by another Greenfield physician.Two stories tall, the inn is covered with a shingled gabled roof; it is one bay wide on the sides and three wide on the front. The Greenfield Historical Society purchased it and moved it to its current location, placing it on a concrete foundation.The Society operates the former inn as its headquarters and as one of several house museums. In 1979, the inn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), qualifying both because of its place in local history and because of its historically significant architecture. The Samuel Smith House and Tannery is also on the National Register.
