History and architectural features

James Scott was an executive for U.S. Steel and an immigrant from Scotland. The construction of his house was the starting point of an elopement that was covered by the national press. Scott's daughter Helen eloped on October 10, 1906, with Frederick Fairbanks, son of Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks. The couple were married on October 11 in Steubenville, Ohio and their story made the front page of the New York Times the next day.^[2]^[3]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 30, 1997.^[1]
