Somerset Hall. Built ca. 1845, this Greek Revival home served as summer residence for Louisiana plantation owner Wm. Butler Kenner. He brought slaves with him, some of whom escaped to Ohio. During the periods when the house was vacant, it is said to have been a stop on the Underground Railroad. Kenner died of yellow fever in 1853 in New Orleans. (Reverse) The house had several owners until it was bought by A. B. Closson, Jr. in 1875. The Clossons, known for their art gallery & furniture store in Cincinnati, lived here for over 50 years. In 1926, the Masons purchased the house for a Unity Lodge. Sold again in 1997, the house was restored and became a private residence.
