House History

This was the home of hardware store owner Louis Philip Helbling (1862-1945), and his wife Rose A. Craig Helbling (1871-1956). The couple lived here with their children, George, Elizabeth, Charles, Homer and Joseph from the late 1890s.

Louis lived his whole life in Woodsfield. In fact, both he and his wife Rose died in this home after long illnesses. It is believed that German-born Christian Helbling, father of Louis, came to Woodsfield before the 1880s. He was a successful woodworker who may have built the beautiful newel post or even the house itself.

According to the 1930 US Census the home was valued at $5,000 at that time.
