Perrill–Goodman Farmhouse
Perrill–Goodman Farmhouse

The Perrill–Goodman Farmhouse is a historic farmhouse in the central part of the U.S. state of Ohio. Located south of Groveport in Pickaway County, it has been named a historic site. The farmhouse was named for two of its prominent early residents, a Mr. Perrill and a Mr. Goodman. Both men held elective office in Pickaway County and served as community leaders in other responsibilities: Perrill was both a Madison Township Trustee and a justice of the peace, while Goodman was a Pickaway County Commissioner and treasurer of Madison Township, and in the early nineteenth century he was known countywide as one of the area's model farmers. Besides going by the names of these men, the property is also known as "Larue Farm."Built in 1857, the farmhouse is a two-and-a-half-story brick structure with brick foundation and elements of stone. It was built in a time of transition between major architectural styles: elements such as the transom and sidelights around the main entrance as well as the rectangular lintels are typical of the older Greek Revival style, while the cornice with pairs of brackets, the narrow front gable and steep gables of the roof, and the lancet windows combine to remind the viewer of the later Gothic Revival style.In 1985, the farmhouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, along with a single outbuilding; it was deemed qualified for historic designation because of its distinctive historic architecture.

Groveport United Methodist Church
Groveport United Methodist Church

Groveport United Methodist Church is a historic church in the village of Groveport, Ohio, United States. Established in the 1830s, this congregation of the United Methodist Church worships in an early twentieth-century building that has been named a historic site. Hopewell Methodist Episcopal Church was founded in present-day Madison Township, Franklin County in 1805, as perhaps the first church in the township,: 339  and Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church was formed in the same township in the following year.: 347  Some members of these two congregations living in the vicinity of present-day Groveport founded the Groveport Methodist Church in 1836, and the first church building was completed by the end of the year, using bricks made on site.: 349  The name "Groveport" was not yet in existence, it having been picked as a compromise between two competing names in early 1847. In 1839, it became the center of a new circuit,: 349  and Methodists became numerous enough in Groveport that their house of worship was incapable of accommodating the worshippers by 1851. As a result, a second church building was constructed; the members subscribed more than $4,200, although some subscribers' failure to pay forced delays in the construction process.The second church building remained the home of the congregation until 1908, in which year the third and present building was completed. Construction was overseen by Charles Rarey, who ultimately resigned his position as a Franklin County court clerk in order to participate full-time in the construction process. The structure cost $25,000 to build, and like its predecessor, its bricks were made within Groveport.Groveport Methodist Church is a brick building with a foundation of limestone, a slate roof, and substantial areas of glass. A tower sits on the corner, topped with a steep peaked roof, while the rooflines of the rest of the building are generally gabled. Rounded-arch windows and doorways are placed in numerous locations on the exterior, including two on separate stories of the tower. These windows, composed of stained glass, are among the building's most distinctive elements.Groveport remains an active part of the United Methodist Church, within the Olentangy River District of the denomination's West Ohio Conference. In 1995, the building itself gained recognition as it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its historically significant architecture. It is one of four Groveport locations on the National Register, along with the Groveport Log Houses, the Groveport School, and a cluster of buildings known as the Groveport Town Hall Historic Group.
