Lewis Kemp House, National Register of Historic Places residence in Dayton, Ohio.
The Lewis Kemp House combines limestone construction with a saltbox architectural design, featuring an asymmetrical roof and multiple structural expansions over time.
Built in 1806 by settlers from Maryland, this residence stands as the oldest surviving house in Dayton and received National Register recognition in 1975.
The property served as a gathering place for United Brethren Church meetings from 1810, while Lewis Kemp donated land for local education and cemetery purposes.
Located at the intersection of Burkhardt Avenue and Meyers Avenue, the house maintains its original structural elements despite being surrounded by modern suburban development.
The building incorporates both stone and brick sections, with the initial stone structure completed in 1806 and a brick addition constructed around 1832.
