The Waernicke–Hille House and Store are a pair of historic buildings located near the community of Archer's Fork in Washington County, Ohio, United States. Located approximately away from each other, the two buildings lie along Township Road 36. The store and three-story house were both constructed for the families of Ernst Waernicke, a German who pioneered the cultivation of tobacco in the surrounding Independence Township. Along with other Germans, Waernicke induced significant growth in Independence Township through the cultivation of tobacco, starting in the 1850s.Owen, Lorrie K., ed.
