Blair House

History
3
The house at 210 E. Silver Street stands in an 1807 addition to Lebanon that was originally owned by one of the town's founders, Samuel Manning. Built in the 1850s in the Greek Revival style by J. Kelley O'Neall, it features small-frieze windows, a decorative roof line, and iron grill work, and years later an Italianate style porch was added. An attorney, O'Neall served as Warren County's prosecutor three separate times in three different decades for a total of 12 years. In 1892, Dr. B.H. Blair bought the house. He practiced medicine for 42 years in a small building that once stood next to his home and was said to possess “a wisdom that ministered to soul as well as body.”
