Abandoned Stone House — Cedarville Township (?), Greene County, Ohio

Photo, circa 1950 (?), from the collection of Donald and Jean Hutslar. Evidence suggests that the home may have occupied a site bordering Massie's Creek, due west of Tarbox Cemetery Road. If so, the house belonged, in 1855, to one S. Charleton.

 

Like other stone dwellings in northern Greene County's Scottish settlement, this house made good use of the traditional three-bay "I" form. Its flush chimneys, rake boards, and box cornice are standard early-nineteenth-century features; its partly collapsed hillside wing with basement entrances, not so much.
