The Charles F. Kettering House is a National Historic Landmark in Kettering, Ohio, the residence of inventor Charles F. Kettering, founder of Delco. The Tudor Revival house, also known as Ridgeleigh Terrace, was reputed to be[citation needed] the first house in the United States with electric air conditioning. It was designed by the Dayton, Ohio firm of Schenck & Williams. It was destroyed by fire in 1995 and was rebuilt with significant, unsympathetic modifications from the original blueprints by Kettering's son's widow. It now functions as a conference center.[2]
