The house, built in the mid 1800's, became the local hospital in 1918. Over the years the hospital had many additions and changes. However, in 1992 the most significant change occurred when the old house was demolished to make way for a modern healthcare facility.
Stories regarding the construction of the stately house are somewhat unclear.
Information dated 1859 indicates that Daniel Hull contracted with a construction company from Chillicothe to build a large home on a wooded lot on the edge of town. The home, while still under construction, was sold to John Eckman, a highly respected man who served on the village's first town council. It is presumed that Hull didn't have enough money to complete the project. Eckman and his family occupied the home for many years. In 1890, Dr. John Boggess, a dentist, purchased the home.
