Description
The

of
President
Rutherford
B
,
Hayes
was a
31
room
mansion
built
by his
uncle
and
guardian
,
Sardis
Birchard
.
It
was
built
as a
summer
home
that
Birchard
could
share
with his
nephew
and
family
. The
construction
period
was from
1859
to
1863
.
It
took
five
years
because
of the
difficulty
obtaining
workers
and
supplies
due
to the
American
Civil
War
. The
home
had
eight
bedrooms
and a
wrap
around
veranda
. The
veranda
was
particularly
loved
by
President
Hayes
. In
1873
he
wrote
in his
diary
"The
best
part
of the
present
house
is
the
veranda
. But
I
would
enlarge
it
.
I
want
a
veranda
with a
house
attached.
"
Hayes
spent
the
next
20
years
planning
and
improving
his
home
. He
moved
his
family
into the
home
in
1873
,
where
they
lived
until
he
became
Governor
of
Ohio
in
1875
. Them he
became
President
of the
United
States
,
moving
back
to
Fremont
in
1880
. At that
time
, he
added
a
library
to
house
his
12,000
books
, a
large
reception
room
,
three
bedrooms
and
indoor
plumbing
. A
four-story
walnut
and
butternut
staircase
leads
to a
rooftop
lantern
giving
a
360
degree
view
of
Spiegel
Grove
, the
Hayes
Estate
. In
1888
, they
demolished
a
back
wing
and
added
a
larger
one
, in
anticipation
of
family
visits
. The
new
large
wing
has a
dining
room
,
kitchen
,
two
servants
rooms
and
three
bedrooms
.
Mrs
Hayes
died
during
the
last
construction
, and
President
Hayes
died
in
January
1893
. They
both
died
in the
home
they
loved
in
Spiegel
Grove
.
