Historic Samuel P. Williams House | Howe, Indiana | Selling at Online
\nAuction<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

A remarkable piece of Indiana history is ready for its next chapter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Built between 1838 and 1843, the Samuel P. Williams House\u2014known locally
\nas the “Old Home”\u2014is a distinguished example of Western Reserve
\narchitecture and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places
\nsince 1980. Set on approximately 2.3 private acres in historic Howe, Indiana,
\nthis extraordinary property offers the rare opportunity to own a home rich in
\ndocumented history while enjoying the comfort of thoughtful modern updates.<\/span><\/p>\n

The approximately 3,850-square-foot residence reflects the craftsmanship
\nand character of another era. An original mahogany staircase welcomes you into
\nthe home, while multiple historic fireplaces, original built-in glass
\nbookcases, an 1800s glass chandelier and distinctive period woodwork preserve
\nthe home’s remarkable story. Behind the walls, massive hand-hewn timber beams
\njoined with traditional wooden pegs speak to the craftsmanship that has allowed
\nthis home to stand for nearly two centuries.<\/span><\/p>\n

The property is equally impressive outdoors. More than 120 mature trees
\nrepresenting a wide variety of species create a beautiful canopy across the
\ngrounds. Raised garden beds, a newly restored grape arbor replicated from the
\n1800s original and the historic 1840s carriage house add to the property’s
\none-of-a-kind setting. Fully wired with electricity, the carriage house offers
\npotential for a studio, workshop or other creative use.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is more than a historic showpiece. The home has undergone
\nsignificant modernization, including extensive rewiring and replumbing, along
\nwith 28 custom triple-pane storm windows designed to improve efficiency while
\nmaintaining the home’s historic appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n

The story of the property is intertwined with that of Samuel P. Williams,
\nan influential early resident of the community. Historical materials describe
\nWilliams as a successful merchant and banker who served in the Indiana
\nlegislature and made significant contributions to education in the region,
\nincluding establishing a young ladies seminary and donating land for athletic
\ngrounds associated with Howe School.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the historic-home enthusiast, preservation-minded buyer or anyone
\nsearching for a property with a story that simply cannot be recreated, the
\nSamuel P. Williams House represents a truly distinctive opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n
