Thank you! I grew up in the house at 200 W. Pearl, and am sickened by how many of the wonderful old houses were torn down through the years. I watched East Chicago street go from a neighborhood of stately old houses to concrete and junk, wondering every time I return for a visit "How long before the Fisk House is demolished too?" I am almost in tears, feeling so grateful that you are restoring that wonderful old place. Someone in COldwater DOES get it!
@mikepattersonjr This house is on US 12, East Chicago Street, 1/4 mile East of I-69. It is the only residence left in a commercial area and is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. The roof leaked several years ago. We eventually found the source of the leak and fixed it. All of the first floor rooms have been re-plastered and we are now working on all of the second floor plaster. The cupola walkway was pulled off this week and we are in the process of repairing that.
I've been curious about Coldwater! I've seen some amazingly beautiful houses there for very reasonable prices, but it bothers me that I can't see the town on googlemaps, especially West Pearl Street!

I live in Coldwater, and always wondered about the history of your house. Thanks for uploading this!
