May 3, 2026 - The Thomas Ganter House
today's focus is on this beautiful mansion that is located in the Emily Kimbrough Historic District at 828 East Adams Street. It is a Georgian Revival style residence that was built between 1895-1896.
Suzanne Thomas, widow of Western B. Thomas, completed this house in 1896. In 1898 she married Leo Ganter, who was employed by the Muncie Land Company and the Ontario Silverplate Company. Architect Alfred Grindle of Fort Wayne designed this yellow-brick Georgian Revival house with a two-story Ionic front portico. Limestone details such as the two-story pilasters define the corners of the house and windows. Three-part windows on the first floor are capped with swan’s neck pediments. Dormer windows in the hipped roof have broken pediments (Walking Tour Series #3: Historic Architecture in the Emily Kimbrough District Muncie, Indiana).

Call me! We can still get your house listed this week! 765-217-9640

The best week to sell your home in 2026 is April 12-18, and it's coming up fast.

Here's why this week stands out: homes listed during this window historically sell for up to $5,300 more than the average week, attract 16.7% more buyer views, sell about 9 days faster, face nearly 12% less competition from other sellers, and are far less likely to need a price reduction.

53% of sellers take one month or less to prep their home for listing, so if you've been thinking about selling this spring, now is the time to start.

Understanding where your property tax dollars go, and how much you pay locally, is important.

We’ve created a new resource to help Yorktown residents better understand how local property taxes are distributed and how the different taxing districts across our community are structured.

On this page, you’ll find:
- An overview of the different property tax districts
- A breakdown of how funds are distributed across schools, the Town, county services, and more
- District-specific information to help you understand what services are funded in your area
- A simple guide to estimate how much of your money (property tax dollars) are allocated to the receiving entities

Find the link to the resource page in the comments below.

Take a few minutes to explore and better understand how your local tax dollars are working in your community. There is also a survey at the end that will help us know how helpful this was and what topic you'd like us to address next.
