The Waring House in Greenville, Ohio, is a brick Victorian residence begun in 1860 by builder Oliver C. Perry and substantially completed by 1869, though final details required two additional years. After Perry's sale, the house passed through several owners before Thomas Waring and his family became its first residents in November 1874. The structure rests on a stone foundation and features a rectangular floor plan augmented by three rear wings: a prominent two-story dining room wing with distinctive segmental windows, a single-story pavilion, and a kitchen wing. Built of brick with metal accents and asphalt roofing, the house exemplifies Victorian residential architecture and remains unusually pristine among Greenville's nineteenth-century dwellings. Recognized for its historically significant design, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 16, 1977, and now operates as a bed and breakfast.
