A Civil War Trails marker across the street from this house tells us that it was a "Sniper's Nest." It starts out: "Bullet holes around the upstairs window of the Ausbon House are haunting reminders of a fight to the death hear on December 10, 1862, when a Confederate sniper refused to surrender. "
The sniper was eventually shot. Look in the photo below and notice the bullet holes around the right-hand window.
