The Edward D. Libbey House is a historic house museum at 2008 Scottwood Avenue in Toledo, Ohio. Built in 1895, it was the home of Edward Libbey (1854-1925), a businessman who revolutionized the glass making industry in the United States. Libbey and his wife, Florence Scott Libbey would later establish the Toledo Museum of Art in 1901.[3]
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1983.[2][4] The property was purchased in 2008 by The Libbey House Foundation with the intent to restore the house to its original condition[5]
