The Randolph Mitchell House is a historic house in the small community of New Reading, Ohio, United States. One of the most prominent old buildings in the area's oldest settlement, it was once the home of a leading local resident, and it has been named a historic site because of its distinctive Neoclassical-influenced architecture. ==History== Settled in 1801,〔Graham, A.A., ed. ''History of Fairfield and Perry Counties, Ohio: Their Past and Present''. Chicago: Beers, 1883.〕 the community of New Reading was platted in 1805, before any other community in Perry County; for much of its early history, it was better known as "Overmyertown" in honor of its founder, Peter Overmyer.〔 When the county was established in 1817, New Reading contended for the title of county seat,〔Martzolff, Clement Luther. ''(History of Perry County, Ohio )''. New Lexington: Ward and Weiland, 1902, 85.〕 and although it failed to obtain this distinction, it remained prosperous throughout the nineteenth century.〔 Into this flourishing community moved Randolph Mitchell two years after the failed bid for county seat. Having paid the then-huge sum of $100 to buy seven lots in the village, he commenced the construction of a grand house, which was finished in 1828.〔Owen, Lorrie K., ed. ''Dictionary of Ohio Historic Places''. Vol. 2. St. Clair Shores: Somerset, 1999, 1135-1136.〕 Before long, Mitchell had gained high standing in the community; he was a prominent member of the village's Methodist church, and later generations remembered him as one of the leading merchants of old New Reading.〔
