This adorable brick cottage for sale with one bedroom, one bath is a German Street house.

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.

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.” This type house, called a German Street House, was one of the first style houses in the city of Belleville which was established in 1850.
