The Carrie Jacobs Bond House
Carrie Jacobs-Bond was an American singer, pianist, and songwriter who composed nearly 177 pieces of popular music from the 1890s through the early 1940s.
She’s remembered fondly for composing the popular turn-of-the-century piece ” I Love You Truly”.
She once said, “I spent my seven happiest years in Iron River, Michigan.” Part of her seven years was spent in this home which was moved from Adams Street in Iron River to the Iron County Historical Museum in 1978. The 70-ton home was restored to the 1890-1910 period. Part of the furniture, a sofa, a desk and chair, and a bed, as well as the portrait of her father, Dr. Jacobs, and other unique items came from the famous composer’s estate.
NPR aired an interesting piece on Carrie Jacobs-Bond in 2009. To view it, click here.
