There are large pocket doors separating the living room and dining room downstairs and two of the bedrooms upstairs. This house sits in a central location to most of the town's amenities.

The home sits on two lots. The second lot has a garden, concrete slab for outdoor entertaining and a wooden play set with swings and a slide.

The house was built in 1899 by William Lewis Bartles. His name is still imprinted on the decorative glass above the front entrance. Mr. Bartels established himself in the hardware business it's said that his house became one of the popular places of business in Allen county. During the year 1898 he erected the "Bartels Block," a two story brick 22x120 feet with basement and the following year this home on East Madison avenue, was erected, and he thus becomes the owner of two of the most attractive and substantial structures in the city.

This fine home has been well maintained. The wide pine base boards and trim, decorative gas fire place, oak mantle and CHAMBERS Model 90C circa 1952 kitchen stove (remains with home) all take one back to a simpler time.
