''JOHN H. SCHEUBER HOUSE''
John H. Scheuber House
This medium-sized Greek Revival house is an example of a more affluent early residence in Joliet built around 1850, and one of the few remaining structures from the early 1850's period of the city. Constructed of native Joliet limestone, it was landmarked in 1991 for its architectural significance.The two-story house has a front gable roof with a lunette window in the gable, limestone lintels and window sills, and a wood-paneled front door with sidelights and a transom light.
The first known residents were John J. Scheuber, a physician, and his wife Marie Philomena Scheuber, in 1895. People bearing the name Scheuber lived in this house until 1937.
