The Fisher-Nash-Griggs House, named for its first three owners, was built c. 1852–57 on Ottawa Avenue in Ottawa, Illinois. Between its construction and 1916 the home underwent a number of additions and renovations, all styled in Classical or Greek Revival.[1]
The house is setback from Ottawa Avenue about 100 feet (30 m); the street itself is a boulevard and one of the widest in the city. Ottawa Avenue is divided by a grassy tree-dotted median which is crowned on its west end by a Classical Revival war memorial. The house, of brick construction, is an example of high-style Greek Revival architecture. The Fisher-Nash-Griggs House was designed by Sylvanus Grow, who also designed another significant home in Ottawa.[1]
The house is significant for its architecture as a good local example of high-style Greek Revival architecture with Classical Revival updates. The Fisher-Nash-Griggs House was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on November 27, 1998.[2]
