The Greek-revival-styled Newcom House at Carillon Historical Park was built in 1841 by Dayton settler George Newcom.

Fun historical facts:

1. To make the wood siding look like a stone, a popular treatment was to cut vertical grooves into boards and add sand to the paint.

2. Greek Revival architecture was popular in America about 1825 to 1860. Americans identified with Greece as the birthplace of democracy and with Greece’s own struggle for independence in the 1820s. The style of this house can be seen in Dayton’s Old Court House, which was completed in 1850.
