Property Features
"The Lucien Scribner House is a smaller version of the Samuel B. Scott House (522 61st Street, Kenosha, Wisconsin), most probably built at an earlier date... Scribner was a local architect and contractor who only lived in this house for a brief time. His widow, Sally, owned the property until 1878, when it was sold to Sarah Royer, and then to Nicholas Pirsch. Pirsch was a blacksmith who built his business into a wagon-manufacturing shop. His son, Peter Pirsch, became more successful as the inventor and manufacturer of the Pirsch Patent Trussed Fire Ladder and other fire fighting equipment. The Peter Pirsch & Sons Company later became known nationwide for its quality fire trucks. The Pirsch family lived in this house until 1987."
