The George Draper Dayton House was built in 1890 in Worthington, Minnesota, United States.

George Dayton hired the Sioux Falls architect Wallace L. Dow to design his grand home on a parcel that took up eight lots.

His family was one of average means, and he had hoped to become a minister, but was lured by the urge to be in the business world.

He married Emma Chadwick in 1878 and began buying farm mortgages in southwest Minnesota.

He presided over the Bank of Worthington and founded the Minnesota Loan and Investment Company, advancing his social status and prosperity.
