The Bury House was built between 1847 and 1849 by Jacob Biry. It is an excellent, intact example of early Alsatian immigrant architecture. The house was built of local limestone stacked with a lime-based mortar. It was constructed room by room over a period of several years, and consists of two front rooms, a rear lean-to and a loft. The home was restored beginning in 2006. All furniture and materials inside are period correct for the early 1800s.
