McElhinny House, 1851 300 N. Court Street |

|
One of the oldest buildings in Fairfield, it perfectly fits the general picture of a two-story clapboard house-type found throughout much of the country from 1830 through 1850.
The design is late Federal in style, accompanied by a few Greek Revival details.
In 1931 it was restored by the Women's Club to nearly as possible to its former elegance and is still used as their meeting house. See a closeup of the porch.
