Residence Architecture
reminiscent of English manor homes of the 1600s. The exterior walls are a combination of stucco and decorative half-timbering. A substantial oak door surrounded by a stone Tudor arch and ornamental carvings greets visitors. Inside, exposed oak beamed ceilings, dark oak paneling, limestone archways and fireplaces, ornamental plastered ceilings, leaded-glass windows and decorative grillwork evoke medieval great halls. The quality of the craftsmanship and materials throughout every portion of the home served as a fitting reflection of the affluence of the Jeffrey family and the emerging Bexley community at that time.
We invite YOU to learn more about the Ohio Governor’s Residence and Heritage Garden by joining us for a scheduled in-person guided tour.
