Built in 1894, the Samuel Spitler house is one of southwestern Ohio's finest examples of Queen Anne architecture. Spitler was a self-taught plumber who is credited with installing Brookville's first indoor bathroom in his home.
Originally located at 15 Hay Avenue, the house was erected for Spitler by Warren Rasor, a local craftsman. It was moved to the present location in 1974 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Today, the Spitler house serves as the home of the Brookville Community Musem and Historical Society.
