Fort House (C. 1850)
NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES

Martha Williams Battle Fort owned this home from 1833 to 1877. With more than twenty rooms and 9,700 square feet, it was an ideal venue for many parties and social gatherings. The Fort House is an example of "Columbus Eclectic" design, a combination of Greek Revival, Gothic Revival and Italianate architecture. Jib windows open from the parlors onto identical front and side porticos.
