Welcome to one of Beecher's most distinctive properties - 741 Dunbar. This historical home was built in 1908 by Civil War veteran August Ehrhardt. It sits on six village lots (1 acre) with mature native trees, and custom landscaping. The four-story concrete block home features a red tile roof, with quality materials throughout. The four-story barn with shake-shingle roof is topped with a vintage weather vane (both have lightning rods). The detached studio has electricity, carpeting, and baseboard heat. During the time of the current owners, the foundation has been reinforced with steel beams, the concrete front porch has been replaced, and the original tile roof has been restored. Floor to ceiling book shelves have been installed in the library. The home has solid hardwood floors on both lower and upper floors. Three decorative borders surround the downstairs hardwood floors.

Another stained-glass window is located in the library. It was installed in 1980 and replicates the original.
