Promont, also known as the John M. Patterson Residence, is a historic house in Milford, Ohio. Promont was built in 1865-1867 by William McGrue on a hill above the village of Milford and the Little Miami River. In 1879, the property was acquired by Patterson, a promising young attorney, and he renamed it "Promont". His political career included terms in the Ohio House and the Ohio Senate, and from 1891-1893 he was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. In January 1906, John M. Pattison became the 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. Architectural style-Italianate Victorian. Posted to the National Register of Historic Places on November 21, 1980. GPS: 39.17710°N, -84.27949°W.
