Photograph of Snow House Occupied by Doctors' Offices, 1958

This picture of 41 W. New England Avenue was taken in 1958 by Worthington resident Charles R. Moor. The building is commonly known as the "Snow House" as the Snow family owned and resided in the house for more than a century. At the time this picture was taken, the building was occupied by Doctor John Blackburn and Dr. William Crisp, as seen on the sign in the front of the building. Dr. Blackburn began practicing general medicine here in 1950, and was joined by Dr. William Crisp, who practiced obstetrics and gynecology, in January 1957.

It was built ca. 1815 and is a typical Federal style brick. John Snow, the house's best known owner, emigrated to Worthington in 1817, to become part of James Kilbourn's Manufacturing company. He was trained as a jeweler, but is mainly known for his Masonic activity. It is probable that early Masonic meetings were held in this home until the Lodge was completed.The family home was occupied by descendants until 1939.

The interior has two relatively deep arched alcoves flanking the fireplace, each framed by delicate pilasters. The house is one of twenty nine Worthington sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
