From 'Forty Houses': 'In 1825, Ames Burr (1793-1875), son of pioneer tanner Israel, bought this farm with his bride, Relief Eager (1804-1874), granddaughter of pioneer Nahum. It was they who built the present gambrel-roofed Federal style house.. . .They raised eleven children here.
Ames’s heirs sold the farm in 1878 to one of their number, son Heman. He, in turn, sold it to Joseph Dolby for $2,900 in 1882. Five years later, Dolby sold the place to Isaac and Fannie Thrasher of South Worthington, who retired here on the 140-acre farm until selling it to Fannie Bieke of Hatfield in 1909. That same year Fannie sold it to Edith Newton of New York City. Harry Pease, son of New York piano manufacturer, was the next owner. He sold it after World War I to Nathaniel Glidden, Wall Street broker. It was Glidden who restored the distinctive farmhouse to its present approximate appearance, and added an office and tennis court. He may also have been the one who
added the front shed dormer with its three sets of paired windows. The gable ends have fan lights, a
rarity in Worthington.']]>

The Harry Day Pease house was built by his father, Chauncy Pease. according to the entry in Forty Houses: 'This is one of the most elaborately decorated houses in Worthington. It was built soon after1888 by Pease, a New York City piano manufacturer, in a style described as late Gothic Revival, that by then had become outdated. Architect designed, the summer home reflected, with its wide, single story veranda, tennis court, and croquet ground, the taste and lifestyle of a wealthy manufacturer of the Gilded Age. The house has five gable ends, a rear, one-story ell, and a square, flat-roofed tower. Exterior
wall cladding is polychromed. There is patterned stick and shingle work. Tower and gable-end windows are tall, narrow, and paired, with cut-out pointed arches above each. The house is roofed with metal shingles, and boxed cornices enclose rafter ends. In recent years the house has been professionally restored. Grounds are planted with apple trees.' It is owned in 2018 by the Pollard family.]]>
