When Jacob Fischer, President of Evansville Stoveworks, set about to build a stately home that would serve as an expression of his family’s style and professional stature, he hired preeminent architect Frank J. Schlotter for the imposing design task. Originally a fine example of Victorian architecture, it is the home’s 1917 modern improvements that leave an impressive mark today in the year 2022. A white glazed tile fireplace with curvature that somehow signals the coming Art Modorne movement of the 1930s. A floor plan with count-them three on-suite bath arrangements with massive bedrooms. Authentic details to both the 1897 and 1917 projects abound, with a 21st century kitchen with eat-in island fitting of any home today. A short jaunt from West Franklin St and the healthiest neighborhood corridor in the entirety of Middle America awaits. When you get back home from your night on the town, the carriage house festooned in corbeled parapet wall high over-head can serve as guest quarters or a perfect late-night hangout far from the earshot of the main house. This home is a lot of things. With one word? It's #baller.
