According to Hamilton historian and author Chere Jiusto this house is “probably the oldest house” in Hamilton. Her book, A Guide to Historic Hamilton, says that “Martha Reinkeh lived in a Queen Anne style farmhouse, probaby the oldest house in town. At odds to the building lot, the house (built ca. 1880) appears to have stood solidly in its place before Reinkeh platted the Riverview Additions on the north side of the Hamilton townsite. As well as being a major landowner in Hamilton, Woodside, and Victor, Reinkeh was known as a cantankerous eccentric. She often traveled in a goat drawn cart until her goat was shot after it butted a businessman through the Victor hardware store window”.

Now this piece of history is for sale and in need of restoration throughout. This Queen Ann period home has original hardwood floors, door frames, and banister that need to be brought back to its former beauty. It boasts 9.5 foot ceilings. Original unique features are on the property including a large root cellar, stone well, and outhouse. There are two old sheds on the property that can be easily removed. The main floor features a living room with large bay windows, mud room/entryway, a beautiful parlor, a kitchen, sunroom, and laundry room. The house has a beautiful stairway that with a little restoration will be very handsome. The second story features a bathroom, master bedroom with walk-in closet and large bay windows, and two additional bedrooms, as well as a stair landing and two outdoor decks, each of which are in need of repair. The Third floor consists of a bedroom and large storage room.
