Josephus Wolf House

The three-story brick residence spans 7,800 square feet with 18 rooms, featuring pine molding, red oak flooring, and a central white cupola.

Built in 1875, the Josephus Wolf House was the centerpiece of a 4,500-acre family farm that included four additional buildings for livestock operations.

Throughout its existence, the building has transformed from a private residence to a Franciscan monastery, women's shelter, antique store, and bridal shop.

The mansion stands on 5.2 acres of land and contains distinctive architectural elements including Indiana limestone sills, lintels, and keystones with double-thick walls.

The Great Room, which spans the entire width of the house, originated as two separate dining rooms until the dividing wall removal in the 1930s.
