Built in 1915 and designed by Milwaukee architect Ernst Peege, the Schwartz Family House is a fine example of the American Craftsman style, with stucco and wood half-timbering, multiple gables, overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails and large curving brackets, and original red-slate roof shingles. Its interior retains original fixtures including ornate plaster ceilings, stained-wood floors, wall features, and trim, a hand-painted landscape mural, extensive Arts and Crafts-style stenciling completed by itinerant artists, and original wood windows, some with leaded glass. Because of its intact ornate interior, it is among Hartford's most distinctive homes and is owned by the Hartford Historic Preservation Foundation. Peter and Anna Schwartz emigrated from Prussia in 1854 and were among Hartford's earliest settlers. Their family, initially farmers, later owned Eagles Park and the Schwartz Ballroom and became prominent in the community. Their oldest son, Joseph, purchased the Hartford City Brewery in 1901; although the brewery was initially successful, it closed in 1937 because of Prohibition and the effects of the Great Depression. Joseph's three sons, Peter, Joseph Jr., and Andrew, had the house built in 1915. Two generations lived there for more than fifty years, including Joseph Sr., his sisters Margaret and Barbara, and his three sons. After the last member of the Schwartz family died in 1964, Barbara and Lloyd Kluck bought the house and cared for it for fifty years.
