Historic Sites
Description: Located in present-day George Rogers Clark Park just west of Springfield is the home of 19th century Clark County pioneers Daniel and Catharine Hertzler. These photographs show both sides of the house in 1943. Pennsylvanian Daniel Hertzler was well known for establishing the first private bank in Clark County. The house was built in 1854 with a Bank style influence. It was unique for many reasons, including the kitchen, which was attached to the main living quarters despite the ever-present risk of fire. Murdered in the house in 1867, the mystery surrounding Daniel Hertzler's death remains unsolved. Today, the house is operated as a museum by the Hertzler House Advisory Committee. Both photographs measure approximately 4 by 3 inches (10.16 by 7.62 cm). View on Ohio Memory.
