Ohio Guide Photographs
Description: Original description reads: "Lucas Co., Columbian House, Waterville, O. Now known as the 'Haunted Curiosity Shop'." The Columbian House, originally a stagecoach inn, was built in 1828 by John Pray. In 1837, the building was expanded, featuring a ballroom on the third floor and the town’s jail on the second. For years it played a central role in Waterville, and was even the site of the first post office. It is recognized as one of the finest examples of Federal style architecture. View on Ohio Memory.
