The Leibee House
Historic South Main District, Middletown, Ohio
The Leibee family constructed this Victorian Italianate home in 1872. The tower is called a belvedere, meaning "a fine view." The arched windows on the first floor are leaded glass. The Leibee family members were merchants and also involved in the construction business. In the 1930s the house was occupied by Earl A. Emerson, President of Armco International Corporation. Until recently, this building served as a nursing home for several years, but the current owner has undertaken a major restoration to return the home to its original purpose as a single family residence.
