The Simeon Deming House is a historic residence in western Washington County, Ohio, United States. Located along Willis Road northeast of the community of Watertown,[1] the house was built in 1815 as the residence of a veteran of the American Revolution. A native of Sandisfield, Massachusetts, Deming enlisted in the Continental Army in 1780 and was later promoted to an officer's rank.[2]
The present structure is one of Ohio's oldest extant Federal houses, featuring brick walls that rest on a foundation of sandstone with a full basement. Two-and-a-half stories tall,[2] and topped with a metal roof,[3] the walls are built in Flemish bond. Central to the four-bay symmetrical facade is a rounded-arch main doorway with a transom and the original fanlight.[2]
Deming personally remained in Washington County for only a short time; by 1824, he had moved north to the present Wayne County; in that year, he was one of the charter members of the First Presbyterian Church of Wooster. Despite living in Washington County for only a few years, Deming is seen as holding an important place in the area's history.[2]
In 1980, the Simeon Deming House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Spread out around the 4 acres (1.6 ha) surrounding the house itself are seven related buildings that were added to the Register together with the house as contributing properties.[1] The house qualified for inclusion on the Register for two different reasons: because of its association with Deming and because of its locally significant historic architecture.[3]
