Promont House, shown in this 2.75" x 2.75" (6.99 x 6.99 cm) slide, belonged to John M. Pattison, the 43rd governor of Ohio. The home was built in 1865 by William Megrue; Pattison purchased it in 1879. Promont House is built in the Italianate style. In 1983, owner James Kirgan bequeathed the house to the Greater Milford Area Historical Society, which restored it to the period 1879-1906 when Pattison owned the home. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Pattison (1846-1906) was born in Clermont County, Ohio. After serving in the Civil War, he attended Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio. He was president of Union Central Life Insurance Company before being elected governor in 1906. The stress of the campaign took a toll on Pattison's health, however, and he died June 18, 1906, six months after his inauguration.
