The Simeon Deming House is a historic residence in western Washington County, Ohio, United States. Located along Kern Road northeast of the community of Watertown,[1] the house was built in 1806 as the residence of a veteran of the American Revolution. A native of Sandisfield, Massachusetts, Deming enlisted in the local milita compinies in 1780.
The present structure is one of Ohio's oldest extant Federal houses, featuring brick walls that rest on a foundation of sandstone with a full basement. Two-and-a-half stories tall,[2] and topped with a metal roof,[3] the walls are built in Flemish bond. Central to the four-bay symmetrical facade is a rounded-arch main doorway with a transom and the original fanlight.[2]
Deming remained in Washington County until his death in 1850; he is buried in the nearby Deming-Wolcut cemetery that was once part of his property.
In 1980, the Simeon Deming House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
