Lenhart Farmhouse, Historic farmhouse in Root Township, United States.
The two-story masonry house features a gable roof, three-brick-thick common bond walls, and a central walnut staircase connecting three stories.
Benjamin Franklin Blossom obtained a patent for the land in 1836 from President Andrew Jackson before John Lehnart purchased the farmhouse site in 1845.
The property includes the historic Piqua Road and overlooks river bottomland of the St. Marys River, known to Native Americans as Nameewa Siipiiwi.
The farmhouse spans 1.67 acres and contains a brick foundation, cellar, enclosed east side porch converted to kitchen, and bedroom addition from 1925.
The adjacent creek, formerly called Lenhart's Run, functions as a natural tributary to the St. Marys River, known traditionally as the Sturgeon River.
