Using these facilities, Elliott began to engage in business at great distances; many of his products were sold in New Orleans after transportation down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.

[3] In 1898, the property was bought by a family named Sterrett, who occupied it for more than twenty years; after they sold it to Henry Livingston in 1920, he donated it to a Jewish social agency, which maintained a summer camp around the house into the 1960s.

In 1967, the village of Indian Hill purchased the land; for many years, it was used as an educational center for schoolchildren,[2] and in 1976, the Elliott House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

It qualified for inclusion on the Register because of its place in local history,[1] for it is one of the oldest houses in the Miami Purchase,[2] and also because of its well-preserved historic architecture.

Finances proved insufficient for more extensive renovations, but the house was in a condition sufficient for occupation, and Indian Hill sold it to private owners in 1985.
