Current photograph of one of the second floor bedrooms of the Koerner house.
This illustration shows the Koerner house as originally constructed—prior to the addition of the large two-story bay window on the east side of the rear service wing (Ruger 1867).
The Gustave Koerner House during the late nineteenth century. This image is undated but is suspected to have been taken circa 1890. It shows the east and north elevations largely as they appear today. Note the rebuilt cornice on the front and the bay window on the side. The side balcony also had been removed by this date. A picket fence surrounds the property. The individual shown in front of the house may be Gustave Koerner himself (Photograph courtesy of St. Clair County Historical Society).
The current conditions of the Koerner house.
First floor plan of the Gustave Koerner House, circa 1890. These plans were drawn prior to the removal of non-historic interior fabric dating from the 20th century. The recent removal of this material has documented the presence of additional doorways and windows not previously known--and not indicated on these floor plans.
