Egbert-Mullins-Koos House
Popular
Description
The Egbert-Mullins-Koos House was built between 1859 and 1860 by Simon Ullman, a Franklin merchant. In the first decade, the property changed hands, but indications are that the Ullman family continued to make the resident their home. In 1869, Lydia S. Ullman sold the property to Eliza Egbert and her husband, Dr. A. G. Egbert. Dr. Egbert was an early Venango County oil producer. Upon completing the purchase of the home, the Egberts added the front porch, as well as the section in the back of the home.

I took care of Kitty Koos one weekend in my great aunt Alma Smith’s spot. Her nurse was also my relative which was interesting. I stayed in the small bedroom off the kitchen, Kitty’s room she slept in was closer to the back same floor. If she wanted to get something from upstairs she told you exactly where it was, which shelf how far over. She never went upstairs while I was there. I remember on my tour that upstairs to the left far down last room was a beautiful bed, & an original Shirley Temple doll. Also a mirror that went from the floor to the ceiling. Lots of little metal soldiers in showcases same floor. I remember watching TV on an old black & white in the one room. I was told about Bruno who was blind coming in to tune the piano & hitting his head on the chandelier. Such a beautiful home
