The Wadsworth in National Historic District of Madison, Indiana.

The Wadsworth House was built in the mid-1800s. It is a fully renovated and modern Shotgun house in a quiet part of town on the east side, walkable to all events, to the river, and to shops/boutiques on Main St. Some folks living around have been living in the area all their lives. The Wadsworth House is situated on a charming tree-lined street with lots of character. Besides being a family name, it is also named The Wadsworth House in honor of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, whose poems I was forced to recite in the 5th grade! Hated it then, appreciate it now :)

One of the original owners, a carpenter, moved into the house in 1907 and added the side hall onto the east side of this shotgun house, giving it the privacy needed for the family. He had immigrated from Germany and took a job working at the button factory in town. Hardwood floors, a modernized full kitchen with granite countertops, and king-sized beds with full tiled bathrooms make this house a comforting getaway.

Short family get-away

The Wadsworth House was just as pictured on-line and was very clean & neat. The entry keypad was easier to use than in some of the other houses we have rented. There was an abundance of good, local info as to sights & restaurants - I especially appreciated the "rack" of brochures. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood & across the bridge.
