The story of the Dillon House begins in 1873 when Fremont architect John C. Johnson began construction of an elegant home for Charles M. Dillon. Dillon had achieved much wealth through operation of his drug store business Dillon & Son (precursor of today's Grund Drug Co.). He sought to display that success by building a grand house. His selection of a site for the structure also was meant to demonstrate his status. The 164x330-foot lot was located directly across from the home of 19th U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes.
