Jeremiah Curtin House
Jeremiah Curtin House, 1846 stone house in Greendale, Wisconsin, United States
The Jeremiah Curtin House is a stone residence built in 1846 in Greendale, Wisconsin, constructed from locally quarried limestone. The building displays the sturdy craftsmanship typical of early pioneer-era homes.
An Irish immigrant named David Curtin built this house in 1846 as one of the first stone structures in the area. It represents the early settlement efforts in Wisconsin and the arrival of Irish families to the region.
The house served as the childhood home of Jeremiah Curtin, who later became an accomplished linguist and translator, specializing in Native American languages and literature.
The house is maintained by the Milwaukee County Historical Society and can be visited by arranging a tour in advance. It is not open to the public on a regular schedule, so planning ahead is necessary.
Despite common misconceptions, Jeremiah Curtin was not born in this house but in Detroit, though the building remains central to his family's immigration story.
