History & local legend
The Wetmore House on Fourth Avenue in Warren began as a Struthers family project. Tom Struthers started building the red-brick home but died in 1871 before completing it. His father, Thomas, finished the house and gave it to his daughter Anna Eliza and her husband, George Wetmore, as a wedding present. It later became the Warren County Historical Society’s headquarters.
Its ghost story focuses on a single window. People looking up from the sidewalk at night have reported a woman in the right-hand window on the highest floor. Sometimes they describe only a shadow; at other times, they make out a white blouse and a figure looking down toward the street.
