The Joseph and Rachel Bartlett House is a historic residence in the city of Fremont, Ohio, United States.
After reading law under his father, young Bartlett entered the legal profession and soon became one of Sandusky County's leading citizens.
By the early 1870s, he and his wife Rachel had become sufficiently prosperous to erect a grand house on Park Avenue south of the Sandusky County Courthouse.
[2] Choosing limestone for the foundation, weatherboarding for the walls, and an asphalt roof, the Bartletts arranged for the construction of an ornate house that mixed elements of the Italianate and Second Empire styles of architecture.
[2] After the Bartletts moved out of the house, it was used by multiple other parties; among the most prominent occupants were Sardis and Margaret Cole and the First United Methodist Church,[1] and it is now used as offices by a local lawyer, Jim Ellis.
