Travis-Scott House

72 East Dublin-Granville Road

This charming house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and may have been built ca. 1820. It is one of the few remaining early frame houses in Worthington. It has an early New England saltbox addition to the rear as commonly seen in homes of New England and the Ohio Valley. The 9 over 6 windows appear to be original to a period from 1810 to 1820.

It is believed that this house was moved to its present location on E. Dublin-Granville Road from High St. The home is named for Travis Scott who purchased it in 1853 for $325 and owned it until 1856, although it has had many owners.

In 1845 William and Charlotte Bishop sold the lot to John Hart although they appeared to be living elsewhere. Ezra and Harriet Gilbert sold the lot and improvements to Gideon Wilcox in 1849. When Scott purchased the home in 1856, he signed with an “X”. Since that time there have been around eight additionl transfers of ownership.
