Island History This house was built by Frank Hauser, son of John and Catherine Hauser in 1885 on 1⁄4 acre of land deeded him from his father’s 26 acre farm. The family homestead is located just to the south. As a young man Frank worked for the Kelley’s Island Wine Co. becoming its superintendent before 1900. He had married Ellen Doran in 1882, building this house shortly after. With the increased demands of his position as su- perintendent of the largest winery on the island, he built a second and larger home on fashionable Water Street. In 1904 he established his own winery, the Monarch, in the old Sweet Valley Wine Company plant.
According to a descendent, one of these was the family of William Lange. William was the son of John and Elizabeth Lange. During this period Elizabeth Lange's brother, builder John Koehler, is said to have added a second story to the house. Koehler had also remodeled the Cameron House across the street , and the Dodge House off the West Bay Road. Source: "The National Register Inventory for Kelleys Island" by Kevin and Betty Pape.
