Built circa 1871 to 1875 by William and Florence McGervey, the home actually takes its name from its second owner, Patrick Flynn, a business man who owned the Xenia Shoe Manufacturing Company and was listed in the Dictionary of National Biography. Flynn married two well-heeled women in succession, Elizabeth and later Bertha, both sisters from the wealthy Trebein family that owned a distillery and factories in the small village that
bore their name. Given the fact that the Trebein name also served as a locality, it still survives locally as a designator on several Greene
County roadways in the vicinity of Beavercreek and Yellow Springs. Purchased by Patrick Flynn & Elizabeth Trebein Flynn, turret added, approx 1900
Obtained by GCHS and moved to current location in 1977. The home originally sat at the corner of Market and Detroit Streets in Xenia, but was moved to its present site on West Church in the aftermath of the 1974 tornado that devastated much of the city.
