The John Edwards House is a historic building in the village of Leipsic in Putnam County, Ohio, United States.

As their four sons grew to manhood, they entered local industry in 1886, and their Buckeye Stave Company soon became one of the most prosperous corporations in the rural Black Swamp of northwestern Ohio.

By the mid-1890s, the company was one of the largest landowners in Defiance, Henry, and Putnam counties, and the wealth it produced enabled one of the Edwards brothers to build a mansion on Leipsic's west side.

[2] Built with brick walls and a slate roof,[3] this Late Victorian mansion was ornamented with elements such as elaborate stencilling, molds of the heads of lions, and embossed gold.

[1] One year prior to listing on the Register, the house was purchased by Harriett Gamper, an Edwards descendant, and donated to the village of Leipsic for conversion into a library.
