Joseph Mitchell House
The Joseph Mitchell House is a historic residence in southern Monroe County, Indiana, United States. Located on Ketcham Road west of the community of Smithville,〔 it is one of the oldest houses in Monroe County, and it has been designated a historic site.
==History==
In 1823, Kentucky resident Joseph Mitchell was awarded a land grant in present day Monroe County in return for his service in the War of 1812.〔Christ, Nelda M. ''National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Joseph Mitchell House''. National Park Service, 1985-10-29.〕 Six years later he moved his family to the site;〔Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory. ''Monroe County Interim Report''. Bloomington: Bloomington Restorations, 1989-06.〕 here he built a log cabin, but as the years passed, it became insufficient for the family's needs. Accordingly, Mitchell constructed the present brick house in 1835, adding its final details two years later; the clay for its bricks was dug on his farm, and the bricks were fired in a kiln adjacent to the house site. After living in the house for fifteen years, Mitchell and his family moved to Iowa; they sold the property to Joseph's younger brother John, and it remained in the ownership of the Mitchell family until 1922. Starting in that year, it began to pass through the hands of several different owners before being purchased by longtime owners William and Nelda Christ in 1973;〔 as of 2011, they still owned the property.〔(Property Assessment Detail Report ), Monroe County, n.d.
