The Archibald Irwin House is a two-story log house built in 1791-1792 by Archibald Irwin and located on the northwest corner. Irwin's granddaughter Jane married William Henry Harrison, Jr., and served as First Lady when her father-in-law, William Henry Harrison, Sr., was elected 9th President of the United States. Irwin's granddaughter Elizabeth married John Scott Harrison and became the mother of Benjamin Harrison, who served as 23rd President of the United States. Renowned craftsmen of the 1800's also lived here. On September 26, 2003, the property was nearly destroyed by fire.
