Inscription. The house at 226 S. Mechanic St. was built in 1871, shortly after the land was sold to Frederick R. Hale by former county auditor and Brig. Gen. O. C. Maxwell. Gothic Revival in style, a survey of it in the 1980s stated “the front porch is the charming highlight of this house.” On Oct. 10, 1984, it was placed on the National Register.

In 1882, it was the home of Mary Jane Keever, the widow of former Warren County Commissioner Nathan Keever. Mary was said to have a “good business mind.” She died here in 1915. Mary Horn, her granddaughter, was at her side. She outlived her husband and all 8 of her children. The house was in the Horn family for the next 71 years.

Erected by Lebanon Rotary Club.
