context_section_description: Promont was built in 1865 by William McGrue on a hill above the village of Milford, OH and the Little Miami River.  The Italianate Victorian home was purchased in 1879 by John M. Pattison, 43rd Governor of Ohio.
  Promont served as the Governor's residence during Pattison's term in office.  Pattison suffered from Bright's disease and was so weakened by the disease that after his inauguration on January 8, 1906 he was too ill to remain in the state capital.  He returned home to Promont that day.  He never returned to Columbus.  Pattison directed the state government from Promont until his death on June 18, 1906.
  Promont remained a private residence until 1983 when it was donated by James Kirgan to the Greater Milford Area Historical Society.  Promont was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 21, 1980.
