Bernhard House (Bernhard-Konkoleski House) has had a diverse past, it was built as a single family dwelling in 1893 and is being used as such today. The late Victorian home is an example of late 19th century Queen Anne style. The house stands on a 66-foot lot in the earliest plot of the Village of Adena, Ohio. The street in front of the house is paved with red bricks. The house stands among six other Victorian homes, but it is the only structure whose original materials, ornamentation and architectural features have The house is two stories tall with a large attic and basement. The front of the house features a dominant two story bay and wraparound porch with a wood shingled gable with decorative bargeboard topping the east front glass in the upper sash on the first and second floor and decorative bargeboard in the gable.
The house is constructed of wood clapboard siding and two patterns of scalloped wooden shingles in the gables. The foundation is laid of large sandstones and a massive brick chimney rises through the center of the house. The roof has five gables as well as several hip joints. The kitchen, a later addition to the rear of the house, has a shed The house has an irregular floor plan and seems to have been expanded twice during its history, once in the early 1900s and once in 1934. During the renovation, clues were found to indicate that the office (ground floor) and two small bedrooms upstairs were additions to the house not long after its construction. This is based upon an exposed beam in doorway that leads to the hall of the two bedrooms, and clapboard siding beneath an interior wall (now re-covered), presumably because it was once an exterior wall.
There are also small nuances in woodwork and hardware. The 1934 renovation is easier to understand and document. Dr. Ellis Kackley and his wife Clara purchased the house in 1925. Apparently, in 1934, they renovated the house extensively. In the entry hall, when the 13 layers of wallpaper were removed in 2003, writing was found on the wall. It read, "Clara, Clara Kackley, May 6, 1934." During this time, a one-room building from an adjacent lot was moved and connected to the rear of the house to make a kitchen. The "now-kitchen" had been the home of the "Adena Argus" newspaper in the late 1800's, when it was a freestanding building. It is possible that a small, four-room house next door was once a summer kitchen and servants house for the main house. Also during the 1934 renovation, a servant's staircase in the rear of the house was closed off and the ground floor and the second floor.

There are five exterior doors on the first floor of the house and one on the second floor. Four of the doors are original. The one on the West side of the house was added during the 1934 renovation to provide an entrance to Dr. Kackley's office apart from the main entrance to the house. The kitchen door, in the rear of the house, was replaced in 2003. The decorative wooden trim on the house expresses the Queen Anne style featuring scroll sawn cutouts and beaded spindles. The interior of the home is remarkably original in respect to woodwork and architectural elements. The first floor has eight rooms. There is an entrance reception hall and a large parlor at the front of features an oak staircase with beaded detail, decoratively carved newel post and turned spindle railing. The walls of the staircase are paneled in a staggered pattern with egg and dart trim.
The landing on the staircase showcases the largest of the house's stained glass windows. The woodwork in the public rooms is all oak and windows and doors have pediments with egg and dart molding. The dining room has a large fireplace and over mantle with a beveled mirror and a built-in china cabinet. The dining room also features a glass chandelier. The less formal rooms have pine trim and bull's eye plinth blocks at the doors and windows. The downstairs bathroom was converted from a butler's pantry and has its original bead board wainscoting. There are two sets of pocket doors that allow the three most formal rooms downstairs to become a large open space for social entertaining Nearly all of the doors retain their original Eastlake influenced brass hinges and lock sets. The upstairs bathroom has a cast iron roll top tub that has been restored and a built-in beveled medicine cabinet.
The upstairs hallway has two electrified gas lights, from when the home had its own gas well in the basement. There is a back staircase that has been closed in and there are stairs to the walk up attic. Though no outbuildings exist, there is documentation that a barn and at least one other structure were behind the home. The Bernhard- Konkoleski house had stood empty for many years. The lack of upkeep has left the structure in a state of general disrepair. At the same time it has left the historical elements untouched. the house with a crystal chandelier. The ceilings are tall and the large rooms create grand spaces. The entry hall Section number 7 Page 2 OMB No.
