The Reeves House

Built in 1818, the house at 42 N. Broadway stands on lot No. 40 of the town's 1802 plat on land once owned by Ephraim Hathaway, one of Lebanon's founders. In 1818 it was sold to John Reeves, the town's recorder and sixth postmaster, and in 1825 future Ohio Gov. Tom Corwin bought it while serving as Warren County prosecutor. In 1828 William Frost purchased the house; after he was elected county coroner several times, it remained in his family for 80 years. The building served as a dwelling for around 150 years, was used in the late 1950's by the county court and county building inspector, and since 1975 has housed various insurance and law offices.
