OHU50K NOTES
After the failure of the German Revolution of 1848, many educated Germans fled their homeland and settled in Belleville. By 1870, about 90% of Belleville’s residents were either German-born or of German descent. They built these tiny homes with local brick, and procured jobs in the many manufacturing businesses Belleville had to offer.
The city became a manufacturing center after the American Civil War, producing printing presses, nails, agricultural equipment, gray iron castings and stoves. In fact, Belleville became known as “The Stove Capital of the World.”

So cute – love those transom windows! And really, not so tiny. 1000 sq. feet is pretty good. I lived happily in less than 800.
