Located northeast of the village of North Lewisburg in Union County,[1] this two-story brick building is a local landmark.

Its foundation is built of ashlar stone, while the hip roof is constructed of imbricated slates of multiple colors.

Many of its impressive Italianate architectural elements, such as the ornamental cornice and carven stone lintels, can be distinguished from far away, especially as the house is surrounded by farmland rather than woods.

It also qualified for its place in local history, for it was home to horse breeder Shepard Clark.

The son of one of the earliest settlers in Allen Township, Clark was regarded highly throughout Ohio for his breeding operation.
