Our History
C. A. House Music was founded in 1872 by Chauncey A. House. The House family emigrated from Germany in the late 1700s. Chauncey's father, Jacob, was born in New York in 1803 and married Lucinda Green in the 1830s. Chauncey was born in 1833, and Jacob House moved his family to Wheeling, WV. Chauncey went to school in Wheeling and later married Sarah Miller.
During this time the United States was becoming an industrial nation, and demands for products such as watches, pianos, farm tools, stoves, and hardware were increasing. Chauncey became a pianist, and in 1872 he began selling pianos and reed pump organs on Market Street in a small store. His staff grew to over 10 employees. Within a few years, Chauncey became known for his large selection of reed organs and pianos.
In 1880, Chauncey's wife Sarah died at the age of 45. The Ohio River flooded in 1884 and destroyed most of the inventory in the store. Chauncey salvaged what he could and continued to grow the business. Over the years, the company has expanded to include four locations in St. Clairsville, Ohio; Parkersburg, West Virginia; Zanesville, Ohio; and Lancaster, Ohio.
