About Bixler / Ward House
William Michler designed this home. The Bixler/Ward name came about because Grace was married to William Opp Bixler when the house was built. She divorced him in 1925 and married William Ward in 1926 or 1927.
Special thanks to Richard F. Hope, historian, who contributed a wealth of information for this walking tour.
