Adler's family moved to the house in 1899, and he lived there until his death in 1993. (Baker City Herald/S. John Collins).

Adler House, 2305 Main St: Leo Adler’s family moved into this two-story Italianate style home in 1899. Adler resided here for the rest of his life, and after his mother died in the 1930s, Adler never even climbed the stairs to the second story.

For the last 20 years his life, he only used the back four rooms of the house.

In his will, he donated his home and its contents to the Baker County Museum Commission, and in 1994 a team of four women Chary Mires, Colleen Brooks, Jane Hutton and Scotty Haskell tackled the project of renovation. The second story was pretty much as it was in the 1930s with original wallpaper and no electricity. Today, all but five items in the house are original.

andquot;Fifty years from now people will say ‘Who’s Leo anyway?’ We want to keep him alive,andquot; Colleen Brooks said.
