Description


Emmert-Zippel House

The Emmert-Zippel House is a historic house located at 3729 Maryville Road in Granite City, Illinois. William Emmert built the house in 1837; he married the following year, and he and his family lived in the house. At the time, the house was located in a rural setting in Granite City, which was then known as Six Mile due to its distance from St. Louis. The house is a five-bay I-house, a housing style named for its popularity in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa. I-houses, including the Emmert-Zippel House, were two-story structures with two rooms on each floor connected by a central hall and staircase. Emmert lived in the house until 1881, and his family sold the house to August and Elizabeth Zippel in 1884.
