Front Street was a wedding gift to Mary Zuielda Reynolds and Anthony N. Van Ryper upon the celebration of their marriage on May 4, 1880, from her father, James Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds bought the house and property from Dr. Joel Haris, who had owned it for 17 years. There probably was another house at this site which was torn down to build the Van Ryper's house. Dr. Van Ryper was originally from New York and obtained his medical education from the University of Michigan. Mrs. Van Ryper was four years old when her father came to St. Joseph County and settled in Hamilton in Olive Township. Mr. Reynolds was very wealthy and a prominent landowner and was said to be the wealthiest man in St. Joseph County. The Van Rypers only lived in the house for five years but many influencial people of New Carlisle have lived or owned it since its construction including: Haven and Lucius Hubbard from 1897-1912, Albert W. Fack from 1916-1921 and finally Ada Bernice and Marion Tuttle who bought it in 1968 and have owned it since then. This is one of the best examples of the Italianate style in New Carlisle, this house retains its original architectural features. Legal Description: Lot 71 O. P. New Carlisle 20.
