The Ohio Governor’s Residence was designed by Columbus architect Robert Gilmore Hanford and completed in 1925, as the residence for industrialist, Malcolm Jeffrey. Since 1957, it has been the residence for the last nine Ohio governors.
Built shortly after the civil war for an important French Royal officer, the house was later home to the Brennan’s, New Orleans’ famed first family of cuisine.
Designed and built in the Richardsonian Romanesque style by the noted architectural firm of Charles Henry, the historic First Congregational Church in Akron, Ohio was completed in 1910 and recently restored in 2005.
