Chillicothe, Ross County, Ohio
Thomas Worthington, Ohio's sixth governor and owner of the outstanding Latrobe-designed
Adena mansion, purchased this building shortly after its 1815 construction. Worthington's daughter, Mary, occupied the home for several years before relocating to Florida. Until recently, a complex of industrial buildings surrounded the structure.
