Albert Fiero home

The Albert Fiero home is a unique mixing of the Queen Anne and Stick Styles of architecture, and has been nominated for its architectural significance. Built in 1886, this house has a large front porch, a two-story protruding bay and decorative wood struts on its main body. There is an irregular hip roof with a central flat portion, and eaves that are articulated with varying sized corbels. Mr. Albert Fiero bought additional property so that he could build this house on the site of a smaller home. Mr. Fiero worked as an inspecting engineer for the Rock Island Railroad and also was engaged in land speculation, a common practice of his day.
