Own a piece of Huntington history with lots of unique charm and character. The George Humbert House, built in the Italianate style in 1880, has been saved from the wrecking ball and updated with new roofing, heating, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, garage doors, and masonry repair. The most difficult work is complete and the interior is ready for your custom finishes. Upstairs, the house features three large bedrooms, a bathroom, and bonus room. A unique attic space on the third level could be finished to suit a variety of uses. The main floor includes a front parlor and large living area with beautiful fireplaces, woodwork, sliding doors, curved windows, and hardwood floors. There is also a dining room, bathroom, kitchen, and attached office space with its own entrance that could serve as a home office. The attached two-car garage and driveway provide ample parking. George Washington Humbert, Sr. was a prominent businessman and City Commissioner. His family built the house and lived there until 1899, when it was sold to George Howard Thompson, a former State Senator. Later, Dr. E.T. Dippell practiced medicine from the property, followed by Dr. R.G. Johnston, whose practice remained there for at least four decades. In 1975, Huntington Township purchased the property and it served as the Senior Center until 1987. Because of its historic designations, exterior alterations to the house require approval from Indiana Landmarks and the City of Huntington Historic Review Board; those guidelines are available for review. Interior alterations do not require historical approval. This home is Italianate Style
