Rutherford B. Hayes Home (Fremont, Ohio)
Time Period

Place

Sandusky County (Ohio)
Description
The
Rutherford
B
Hayes
home
was
built
by his
uncle
and
guardian
,
Sardis
Birchard
.
Due
to the
difficulty
of
obtaining
materials
and
labor
during
the
Civil
War
period
, the
house
was in
construction
for
five
years
from
1859
to
1963
. The
original
portion
of the
two
story
brick
home
contained
eight
bedrooms
and a
wrap
around
veranda
. The
veranda
was
Hayes
'
favorite
part
and he
made
plans
to
enlarge
it
to a
veranda
with a
house
attached
.
Hayes
moved
his
family
into the
house
in
1873
,
prior
to his
terms
as
Governor
of
Ohio
and then
President
of the
United
States
.
Upon
his
return
from the
White
House
in
1881
,
Hayes
renovated
the
house
and
built
an
addition
. The
addition
included
a
library
for his
12,000
book
collection
, a
large
reception
room
,
three
bedrooms
and
indoor
plumbing
. The
most
spectacular
improvement
was a
four
story
walnut
and
butternut
stair
case
.
It
led
to a
rooftop
lantern
which
offered
a
360
degree
view
of the
Hayes
estate
,
called
Spiegel
Grove
. In
1889
, the
Hayes
built
another
addition
to the
home
. They
demolished
a
back
wing
and
replaced
it
with a
larger
one
, in
anticipation
of
visits
from the
grandchildren
and
friends
. The
new
wing
contains
a
large
dining
room
, a
kitchen
,
two
servants
rooms
and
three
bedrooms
.
Unfortunately
during
this
latest
construction
,
Mrs
Hayes
died
. The
President
followed
her in
death
in
January
1893
.
Both
of them
died
in their
beloved
home
in
Speigel
Grove
.
