History

After the failure of the German Revolution of 1848, many educated Germans fled their homeland and settled in Belleville. By 1870, about 90% of the Belleville’s residents were either German-born or of German descent.

After the Civil War, the city became a manufacturing center producing printing presses, nails, agricultural equipment, gray iron castings and stoves. In fact, Belleville became known as “The Stove Capital of the World.”

You see a lot of simple old brick cottages in Belleville. These were the first style of houses in the city, known locally as “German street houses.”

OHU50K NOTES

I fell in love with this c.1857 fixer upper, but it has no interior photos. It is located on a tree-lined street of wonderful old houses.

The realtor teases us with her description below, and then no photos. No wonder it is still for sale.

REALTOR COMMENTS

Built in 1857 in the historic area of Belleville IL. Paved streets lead you to the fixer upper home. If you like the charm of older homes come check out the 10ft ceilings and winding staircase this home has to offer. What a little TLC would do to this amazing house.
