Gustave Koerner first built his Belleville home, an imposing Greek Revival structure, in 1849, and rebuilt it in 1854 after a devastating fire. With his stature as an intellectual and statesman and the home’s location at the main entrance to Belleville’s National Historic District, the house has incalculable value as a historic property. Once restored, it will take its rightful place among the crown jewels of Illinois historic sites.
