Perennial gardens welcome you to this carefully maintained
classic Greek Revival home built in 1843. Light floods the large rooms and open
space on the main floor. Facing Kenosha s Library
Park, it is just a 4-minute walk from
Lake Michigan and 12 minutes from the Metra train station with service to Chicago. Much of the house s infrastructure has been
updated within the last ten years, including installation of a new
energy-efficient gas furnace, an on-demand water heater, rewired 200-amp
electrical system, new windows (2nd floor), new storm windows all
around, new 30-year roof. The size is
approximately 2400 square feet, with four bedrooms, two baths, living room,

Since it was built in 1843 by Lucien Scribner, this house
has been owned by only five families.
Most prominent of them was the Pirsch family, who manufactured fire
engines and equipment in Kenosha
for nearly 100 years. The property is a key part of Kenosha s Library Park
Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places
(Ref. # 88002657), and the house itself is listed on the Wisconsin Architecture & History
Inventory (record # 9501).
