Along with its neighbors at 317, 321 and 323 East 15th Street, this home appears to have been built by businessman Charles W. Inman for investment purposes. Inman purchased the property from Mary Trinler in 1908 and had these four homes built immediately. 

The first owner-occupant of the house was insurance agent Albert Wettig, in 1920. Arthur Zabel, secretary of Zabel Milling Co.,purchased the property in 1925, followed by Frank Breese in 1940. The photo below shows the home as it appeared circa 1970, with a fanlight window in the front gable. 

The property’s judgment number is 22CO1-1711-MF-001634.  With this number you can visit the Clerk’s Office in the City-County building and enter it into their computers to find the judgment owed on the property. This is public record.

This property is located within the locally-designated East Spring Street Historic District; therefore, any exterior alterations must be reviewed and approved by the New Albany Historic Preservation Commission.
