Lytle Park Series

The “Little Wilderness” of the 1700's became Lytle Square in 1809 and the setting for this brick mansion of General William H. Lytle, first Surveyor-General of the Northwest Territory and the State of Ohio. The home was razed in 1907.

William Haines Lytle, last in the line of Lytles to live in the family home, served as lawyer, legislator, poet and soldier. He was killed on September 20, 1863 at the Civil War battle of Chickamauga.
