Myron P. Bush House

Built 1859-60, for Myron Philander Bush (1819-1885) and his wife, Margaret Westervelt. Situated on the northwest corner of Delaware and Summer Street, it was surrounded by 5.75-acres of landscaped gardens and was designed by John D. Towle (d.1887), of Newton, Massachusetts. The 'handsome' house was inherited by their eldest son, John Westervelt Bush, who lived here until 1896. Seven years later in 1903, it was demolished to make way for the Frank H. Goodyear House. In the interim, John W. Bush built the still extant Bush House on Lincoln Parkway.
