Patterson House

Ohio History
Patterson House
Did you know that the inventor of the cash register was a native of Dayton? No, I’m not kidding! John H. Patterson and his brother Frank Patterson made a fortune producing and marketing cash registers. It was their grandfather, Col. Robert Patterson of the Revolutionary War, who settled here in 1804 on a 2,000-acre farm. The Patterson Homestead still stands on part of that land today in Oakwood, a well-to-do suburb of Dayton.

Is the National Cash Register company still alive and well today? I thought I noticed the NCR trademark on the self-checkout machine at Walmart. What a guy!

I've never heard of the cash register as being invented in Dayton, Ohio.
