COA Info:

Historic Info: Some historical notes on the Luxembourg House, dated 041073: This house, built by Christopher Schreiber over 100 years ago, was built in the style evolved by his fellow Luxembourgers who had lost their homes in the Chicago Fire. The simple and unusual design was purely functional. They anticipated flooding which they had been accustomed to in their former homes and with that in mind a basement was not considered. An outside stairway ran up to an entrance on the 2nd floor and 12 inch thick brick walls went from a five foot foundation up to the 2nd floor. The outside stairway was removed many years ago when the area proved to be dry. For 50 years the area changed very little around their farm������¢���¯���¿���½������¦..narrow lanes connected the small farms and gypsy bands wandered through the area in the summer months. In the early 1950s the Morgan W. Gibneys moved to Evanston and saw the possiblilities of the perfect background for their extensive collection of antiques. The restored the home and also added an addition to the back and the side which perfectly conforms to the original building. They also aded the charming brick walk in the back made of handmade bricks. The home represent one of the few remaining examples of the early Luxembourg style - unique and warm. Homefinders, Inc.
