Adam Fischer Home
This is a photo of a house located on the north side of East Federal Street between West Street and Vienna Avenue. The house was built by Adam Fischer for his family in the late 1800s, the girl on the porch was born in 1893.

Adam Fischer then built and lived in another house on Summit Street. Then he built two more houses, next to it on the north side. The one closest to Robbins Avenue was built for Aunt Anna Wolf. The middle house was originally for himself, but Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Lippy (Parents of Dr. Lippy and owners of Lippys Clothing Store) wanted to buy it, so he sold them the house and built the third house for himself.

He built other houses in Niles and the Niles City Building at 34 West State Street, Ardens Furniture Store on Main Street and Niles Bert Street School (On now Belmont Avenue, later called Monroe School). Information from Arlene Fischer
