The John W. Day House, also known as the Day-Dittman House, is a private residential structure located at 4985 Dryden Road in Dryden Township in southern Lapeer County, Michigan. It was designated as a Michigan State Historic Site on September 26, 1987 and soon after added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 17, 1987.[1][2]
Built in 1863 in the style of Greek Revival architecture, the structure is a wood framed, two-story house with a portico, pediment, and rounded latticework. A 1½-story addition was built along the entire right side of the house in 1880, extending the length of the structure and adding a large room. Since then, the structure has remained largely intact, except for an arcade and porch added to the back in 1974. The house was built for John W. Day, who was an early farmer in the area. It was then purchased by Prussian immigrant Augustus Dittman. The house remained in his family until 1970 until it was sold once again.[2]
