Elias Kumler House
The Elias Kumler House is a historic residence in Oxford, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the 1850s, it was originally the home of Elias Kumler, who held large influence at multiple educational institutions in Oxford. The house has been continuously used for residential purposes, and it has been named a historic site.
==History==
Born in 1830 and named Jeremiah Prophet Elias Kumler in full,〔Williams, Judy. ''(Ohio Historic Inventory Nomination: Kumler Chapel )''. Ohio Historical Society, 2008-07-30.〕 the house's first owner spent parts of his early life farming and working as a merchant, but he later became the first banker in Oxford. By the 1850s, Kumler had become wealthy enough to engage in philanthropy, donating money in 1856 toward the construction of the Junction Railway between Hamilton, Ohio and Connersville, Indiana.〔Blount, Jim. ''(An Index to Butler County Place Names: Kumler House )'' via Lane Public Library, 2005-06-25. Accessed 2014-01-01.〕 He also served Oxford's two women's colleges and a Cincinnati seminary, sitting on the board of trustees for the Western College for Women from 1871 to 1898,〔 acting as a trustee for the Oxford Female Institute, giving funds to found the endowment for the Lane Theological Seminary,〔 providing money to rescue Western when it was nearly bankrupt,〔(Photographs of Trustees ), Miami University Libraries, 2010. Accessed 2014-01-01.〕 and financing the Female Institute.〔
The present house was constructed in 1856, and Kumler owned it until selling it to Cincinnati shipping magnate Ebenezer Lane in 1868. Lane owned it for twenty years until selling it to local businessman Frank Cone. The house was Cone's home into the 1920s, but it later became privately owned rental housing for Miami University students. No longer home to its owners, the house deteriorated to the point that Oxford's city government condemned it as a danger to public safety. However, it was purchased and sold by a man more interested in repair than destruction; he restored the house to structural integrity and sold it in 1979.〔
