John Hart House

The John Hart House is a frame Victorian home in Ward Village built c. 1890 for John H. Hart. It is made up of a fieldstone foundation, and originally had a fishscale slate and tin roof. The property at one time contained mushroom houses, a corn crib, and shed. The property still contains some original flooring and beams.
John Hart was a blacksmith, and conducted business in the Ward mill complex in the late 1800s. He employed one person for 10 hours a day for only 50 days a year. He produced $1,000 worth of goods a year in 1880. He was one of only five blacksmiths in Concord Township in the late 1800s.
The house was owned by the Fiore and Zaber families in the later 1900s.
This house is a private residence and not open to the public.
