The house was built on a land grant of Isaac Allen and later owned by Stacey Grant and uncle to President Ulysses S. Grant. Stacey Grant married and had a daughter, Maria who married Dr. Levi Leslie Lamborn. Dr. Lamborn, who cultivated flowers as a hobby,was nominated by the Democrats in 1876 to run for Congress against William McKinley. Before their debates, Dr. Lamborn presented to Mr. Mckinley a scarlet carnation boutonniere, which he raised. It became a symbol of good luck for McKinley throughout his political career, even to the Presidency of the United States. Because of this , the scarlet carnation became the Ohio State flower, and gave Alliance its nickname, the "Carnation City" [ Home | Guest Rooms | Room Rates | Weddings | Intimate Wedding Packages | History | Map | Contact Us ] The Zang House Bed & Breakfast
