Description: Monomoy Place was constructed in 1863 in the Italianate style for Dr. Alfred Follett, a Granville physician, by Justin Hillery, Jr. In 1896, wealthy leading Granville citizen John S. Jones acquired the property when he married Dr. Follett’s granddaughter, and gave it the name Monomoy Place. The roof was altered in 1900 to accommodate a large ballroom on the third floor. In 1935, Denison University obtained the property. It has since served as a women’s dorm, a female co-op housing unit and a fraternity house. In 1979, the house was renovated to serve as the presidential residence, a purpose it still serves today.
