Once owned by Joseph Haser & Joseph Meller who started the Franklin Brewery, which was located on a portion of this property and adjacent lots. Today you can still appreciate its historic charm with its wood-burning stove in the living room, exposed brick walls in the eat-in kitchen and family room, and a claw-foot tub in the upper bath. Wood floors are found throughout the house. There are two staircases to access the four bedrooms on the upper level along with a small room that could be used for closet or storage space.
