Harding, twenty-ninth president of the United States. Harding and his future wife designed the Queen Anne–style house in 1890, a year before their marriage. They were married there and lived there for 30 years before his election to the presidency.

Like James A. Garfield, an earlier U.S. president from Ohio, Harding conducted his election campaign mainly from the house's expansive front porch. Like the Garfield house, Harding’s home has a one-story building in the yard, which served as official campaign headquarters.

Mrs. Harding bequeathed the house to the Harding Memorial Association, which now operates it as a museum and a memorial.
