Cowles, a Worthington merchant, civic leader and James Kilbourne's son-in-law in 1835. The Inn has had significant additions which reflect the changing architectural tastes of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Its Victorian decor reflects its status as Worthington's only remaining nineteenth-century inn.
