Gustave Koerner House, Greek Revival house in Belleville, Illinois.

The Gustave Koerner House features symmetrical proportions, brick walls, classical columns, and detailed cornices following Greek Revival architectural principles.

The residence, constructed in 1848 and rebuilt in 1854 after a fire, belonged to Gustave Koerner, a German immigrant who helped establish the Republican Party.

The house served as a meeting place for political discussions between Koerner and Abraham Lincoln during the formation of the Republican Party platform in 1860.

Located at 200 Abend Street, the structure undergoes restoration to become a museum dedicated to Illinois political history and German-American relations.

During the Civil War, Koerner used this residence as a base while coordinating efforts to align German-American communities with the Union cause.
