The Historic Dayton House stands at 1311 4th Avenue as a visible representation of Worthington's early days and as a symbol of civic leadership and business success. It is unique both in the time of its grand appearance in a small prairie town in the late 1800s and in its ownership for well over a century. Three families related through business, blood, and marriage-the Daytons, the Smallwoods, and the Cashels-owned and lived in the house over time. Each contributed in unique ways to the community and its surrounds.
