The Harry Day Pease house was built by his father, Chauncy Pease. according to the entry in Forty Houses: 'This is one of the most elaborately decorated houses in Worthington. It was built soon after1888 by Pease, a New York City piano manufacturer, in a style described as late Gothic Revival, that by then had become outdated. Architect designed, the summer home reflected, with its wide, single story veranda, tennis court, and croquet ground, the taste and lifestyle of a wealthy manufacturer of the Gilded Age. The house has five gable ends, a rear, one-story ell, and a square, flat-roofed tower. Exterior
wall cladding is polychromed. There is patterned stick and shingle work. Tower and gable-end windows are tall, narrow, and paired, with cut-out pointed arches above each. The house is roofed with metal shingles, and boxed cornices enclose rafter ends. In recent years the house has been professionally restored. Grounds are planted with apple trees.' It is owned in 2018 by the Pollard family.]]>
