Island History -
This was the homestead of Daniel Mischler, who emigrated from Baden, Germany to Kelleys Island in the 1850's as a young man to live and work for Henry Olemacher, a shoemaker.  He married in 1862, and went into quarry work.  By 1874 he had purchased this ten acre plot of land which was set out in grapes.  He did not build his home immediately, however, the 1880 Census shows him to be separated from his wife, Elizabeth, who was living in the house with their four children. In 1910, Elizabeth moved to Division Street to be near her daughter, Elizabeth Lincoln.

In 1914, the Kelleys Island Lime and Transport Company (KIL&T Co.) cut through Division Street and extended their quarrying to the east side. There were then six or more houses on the south side of Ward Road, and the company bought most of them for their quarry workers, including the Mischler house.  It was then rented by Frank Volz, and his wife Friedaline Erne Volz. Frank had recently come to the island to work as a machinist in the  KIL&T Co.'s west Quarry Machine Shop. The Volz family lived here until 1941 when Frank went to work on the mainland.
