Tenant Quarters

Ohio History

McCormick Kitchen

Doesn’t this room look out of place on the Adena estate? It's an example of the tenant houses occupied by farm workers. The quarters were very modest--only two rooms and an upstairs. This one belonged to George McCormick, the resident cabinet-maker, who did all the woodworking in the Worthington home. He did an excellent job, as we saw several of his tables, bureaus, sideboards, and clock cases still in the mansion.
