History

Amos Gould settled in Owosso in 1843. In approximately 1848 he constructed this house on Washington Street in the fashionable Oliver Street Historic District. [2] In 1860 he constructed a second, larger house next door (now 515 N. Washington), relegating the original house to a kitchen and servants' quarters. [3] In 1873, Gould completely remodeled the 1860 house by covering it with brick. The servants' quarters building was left substantially the same, but may have had the eave bracketry added at the time. [4]

After the number of servants had decreased, the Gould family sold the servants' quarters. [4] The building was then moved from its original location on Washington to this location on King St. [3]

Description

The Amos Gould House is a balloon-framed structure covered with clapboard. It has symmetrical window placement and a hipped roof with a simple roofline, supported with elaborately carved brackets. These were likely added during the 1873 remodeling. [4]

The John R. Oughton House, commonly known as The Lodge or the Keeley Estate, is a Victorian mansion located in the village of Dwight, Illinois, United States. The grounds remain mostly unchanged since the house was moved from its original site in 1894 and remodeled a year later. John R. Oughton occupied the house until his death in 1925, and in 1930, the house became a boarding home for patients of the internationally known Keeley Institute. The Keeley Institute was founded in 1879, in part by Oughton, and utilized a new form of treatment for alcoholism. The estate grounds feature two outbuildings, a carriage house and a windmill, as well as a pond. Since 1978, the Oughton House has been occupied by a private restaurant, but the windmill is owned by the Village of Dwight, and the carriage house is a public library. The Oughton House and its outbuildings were added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
