Own a piece of Rising Sun History! This home has been in the JW Whitlock family for 4 generations! JW Whitlock was known as the owner/operator/inventor of the JW Whitlock Furniture Company located in Rising Sun. The factory was known for a wide variety of chair styles, radios, curio cabinetry, side tables, autoharps for 66 years. JW,Whitlock's autoharp invention was sold to Wurlitzer Co. in Cincinnati and was the forerunner to the jukebox. Many of JW Whitlocks inventions, including the Hoosier Boy speed racing boat, can be seen in the Ohio County Historical Society's Museum which is housed in another of Whitlock's former buildings 212 S Walnut St.
What the family calls the "middle room". This is the room with the fireplace which had the chimney rebuilt about 10 years ago and family says it has been used since. Behind the green partition door is the first floor bedroom.
8'3" x 4'4" bay window in the "center room" includes paneled casing, arched windows and wainscoting ceiling.
Wainscoting that adorns the ceiling of the bay window and the 1st floor bathroom came from a 2-story Whitlock factory building that was located behind this home. This is where JW Whitlock's company produced the firs of the auto harps and later the music rolls. Another Whitlock, Kitty Whitlock, JW's sister, is a composer of many of the music rolls produced for the auto harp.
Dining Room and Study both have a bit of history as well. Although unverified, this agent was told by the owner in 2000 that these two rooms were the original structure of an old button factory. Indiana and Ohio history tells us that there was a time when buttons were made from the mussel shells found in rivers and running streams throughout the mid-west.
