The Emmert-Zippel House, located at 3279 Maryville Road in Granite City, Illinois, is a historic house with a rich history. It was built in 1837 by William Emmert, who lived there with his family. The house stands as a testament to the architectural style and living conditions of the time.
Architectural Style of the Emmert-Zippel House
The Emmert-Zippel House is a prime example of a five-bay I-house, a housing style that was popular in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa. The house is a two-story structure with two rooms on each floor, connected by a central hall and staircase. This architectural style provides a glimpse into the past and the living conditions of the time.
