History

When Clark County, Ohio County was created from parts of Champaign County, Ohio Madison County, Ohio and Greene County, Ohio counties, Springfield was designated as county seat in 1818. Dayton and Eaton, Ohio wanted the road to veer south after Springfield, but President Andrew Jackson made the final decision to have the road continue straight west to Richmond, Indiana. The Westcott, know as the car built to last, was a six-cylinder four-door sedan manufactured by Burton J. The property was purchased in 2000 by the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy (Chicago, IL), and as part of a prearranged plan, the house was then sold to a newly formed local Westcott House Foundation. From 1916 to 1926, 10 automobile companies operated in Springfield.
