Review:
In the mid-1800s, Doctor McNutt was the only general practitioner in the area and was the co-founder of the Princeton Savings bank, the only lending institution. His house was built in 1840 in the classic 'I' configuration, having a double story facade with three bays. He paid $200 for the house in a courthouse sale in 1847. During the Civil War, Princeton was razed to the ground and his is the only house of the era left standing. It became the headquarters for Rutherford Hayes and William McKinley, both later to become Ohio governors and presidents. It is currently the oldest house in Princeton and the headquarters of the Princeton Mercer County Chamber of Commerce.
