Spencer Suite at The Willis-James

Designed for the guest who seeks a more extensive accommodation, this 2-room suite offers a king bed, dressers, and dining table. The redesigned bathroom is equipped with walk-in shower, free standing soaking tub, water closet and twin vanities. A separate living room provides additional comfort with wet bar, television, chair, ottoman, and queen sleeper sofa with a Tempur-Pedic mattress. The Spencer Suite is accessible from the main stairway, or through a private staircase off the Butler's Pantry.

In 1810, Jesse Spencer was the registrar of the land office at Chillicothe, and a partner of Thomas Worthington (who had acquired the house after Nathaniel Willis). Upon buying the property from Worthington, Spencer made a few improvements including the construction of a second story over the original Willis house. That first addition, believed to be his office at the time, now encompasses the bath and living room of the suite.
