Jane A. Harbath Residence, (1991-1995)
The following information was contributed by Jane A. Harbath Morse on October 22, 2021.
1. Jane A Harbath purchased the house in 1991 and was told by the title agency that it was the first transfer they’d seen from a single woman to another single woman. I then sold it to yet another single woman! My realtor was the legendary Ruth Brenner. She agreed that it was a “dollhouse”.
2. Most of the stained glass was crafted by my father Fred Harbath. The large piece in the living room was added by the Rainwater family, repurposed from a church.
3. I was a young, single professional in my tenure there, but ran with a lively local music crowd. The back room was a recording studio and the site of many impromptu jam sessions.
4. There is a ghost in residence named Tony Coseleto. He was a local handyman of Italian extraction and planted the grape arbor in the back circa 1920s, likely for homemade wine during prohibition. He is seldom a bother and, in my opinion, adds value to the house.
