Gene & Susan Tesch
The
two-story gable Tesch home was built in the early 1900s. The first floor
included the entry way, living room, dining room and remodeled kitchen which features
a plate rack displaying Nabisco memorabilia. Gene worked for Nabisco for
26 years and has acquired many unique items.
An
open staircase leads to the three bedrooms and bath on the second floor.
The old, "one" room cement basement has been remodeled into a family
room and craft area. The leaded windows remain a focal point in many of
the rooms. An early 1900s Secretary and music chair adds to the character
of the house. The large front porch becomes a special family gathering place
during the summer as it features removable screens.
Traditional
holiday decorations are displayed throughout the house. The Nativity
pieces and Christmas house were painted and constructed by the 3 Tesch children over 20 years ago.
