The House that William Ruth Built

This town and his trading business was well established when William Ruth, a local merchant and trustee of the first free school, built his big brick "mansion house." Originally eight rooms, additions in 1837, 1850 & 1910 brought the grand total to 22 or 23 depending on how you count the rooms, the landings the baths, etc. This home now houses a small internet cafe' with a small business co-op, the Leipsic River Watershed Association, and four guest rooms.

We now call the old girl "The Leipsic Mansion House."
