Regarding Roswell Graves House. Excerpt from “Historic Homes of Granville, Ohio” by the Granville Historical Society:

The front portion of the Roswell Graves House was probably built around 1823, although there have been later additions. It was built with an early vernacular style frame with a later Tuscan entrance; the iron fence is one of the oldest and finest in the Village. Roswell Graves, as well as his brother Enoch, was a member of the original migration from Massachusetts under Timothy Rose.
