Circa 1880 Queen Anne style Victorian located in West Farmington Ohio, built by 
Professor Elisha Bates Webster during his presidency at the Western Reserve 
Seminary (formerly Farmington Normal). He became President in the mid 1860's, 
early 1870's. Professor Webster was noted for "saving" the Seminary by reviving 
it's popularity and increasing it's enrollment. The Western Reserve Seminary 
burned from a painter's torch in 1906. The home features three french door 
balconies, original brackets,original wood siding, and original slate roof. 
Inside the home, although modifications have been made over the years from 
several transformations (Starr Hotel, Hitchcock and Latimer Funeral Home, 
Carpenter Funeral Home, etc.)  still maintains the beauty of the Victorian Era. 
Please note this home is not open to the public.
