Doan House
The Doan House is a historic residence in the city of Wilmington, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the middle of the nineteenth century for a local medical official, it was for many years the home of one of the city's prominent lawyers. The house's prominent location at the city's edge and its distinctive architecture have made it a local landmark, and it has been designated a historic site.
==Building history==
The Doan House was constructed in 1840 as the home of James Wilson,〔Owen, Lorrie K., ed. ''Dictionary of Ohio Historic Places''. Vol. 1. St. Clair Shores: Somerset, 1999.〕 who with his wife Eleanor was the superintendent of the Clinton County Infirmary from 1836 until 1840.〔Brown, Albert J., ed. ''(History of Clinton County Ohio: Its People, Industries, and Institutions )''. Indianapolis: Bowen, 1915.〕 In 1869, the property was purchased by Azariah Doan, a prominent Wilmington lawyer and Civil War veteran. During the time that the Doans owned the house, they modernized it by adding numerous Italianate features to the original Federal-style components. For much of its history, the Doan House was a prominent travellers' landmark, as it was the city's easternmost house and the first or last portion of the city to be reached by those travelling into or out of the city's eastern side.〔
