Sutliff Museum: Harriet Taylor Upton described the Graeter House in her book as follows: "In 1835 Augustus Graeter purchased from Mrs. Charles Smith for $2,000...the land lying between Dr. Harmon's property and the Presbyterian church. Using the old log house, erected by Mr. Scott, he constructed a tavern of goodly proportions. The old part of the house which was used as a court house became the dining room. This hostelry was known as the "Grater House" and stood until 1870, when it was purchased by Warren Packard, who erected his fine three-story home." Item is part of a collection of negatives from the City of Warren Law Department. No further information is known about this collection. Gift of Ann McLain, the wife of former City Law Director William P. McLain.
