Dr. William S. Alexander House, in Oxford, Ohio, was built in 1869 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. [1]
The house was recognized as a good example of an I-house with transitional Greek Revival and Italianate elements. It has an unusual two-style side portico. [2]
It is also significant for association with two doctors, Dr. Herschel Hinkley and Dr. William S. Alexander, who assisted the town in days before hospitals and clinics were available, while also serving at Miami University, and represent "town-gown" relations in a good way. [2]
The house was later used as a bed and breakfast, and in 2010 it was in use as a Japanese restaurant. [3]

The Italianate style was a distinct 19th-century phase in the history of Classical architecture. In the Italianate style, the models and architectural vocabulary of 16th-century Italian Renaissance architecture, which had served as inspiration for both Palladianism and Neoclassicism, were synthesised with picturesque aesthetics. The style of architecture that was thus created, though also characterised as "Neo-Renaissance", was essentially of its own time. "The backward look transforms its object," Siegfried Giedion wrote of historicist architectural styles; "every spectator at every period—at every moment, indeed—inevitably transforms the past according to his own nature."
Alexander Jackson Davis, or A. J. Davis, was an American architect, known particularly for his association with the Gothic Revival style.
