The historical significance of The Tremont House, and recognition that it is an architectural treasure, has been cast - not in stone, but in bronze - on an Ohio Historical Marker.  The Marker was acquired thanks to a grant from the William G. Pomeroy Foundation through the Ohio History Connection (formerly the Ohio Historical Society).  It will be installed on the North West Street side of the building.
