A few blocks west on the north side of the road is the John Ferguson House at 2806 Dayton-Xenia Road, built in 1866. The home is of Italianate design, featuring a custom Ionic porch with custom millwork prevalent inside and out.

At the bottom of the hill, you’ll cross a stream know as Bull Skin Run which is spring fed from as far north as the Mall at Fairfield Commons. It ties into the Little Beaver Creek at the Creekside Trail Bikeway. Every pond, creek, stream and spring was integral to life and business during the settling of our community. On their banks you’ll find the concentrations of homes, mills, dairies, and farms.
