Weistar House

The Frederick Weistar House, also known as the Stone Cottage, was built around 1859 by Frederick Weistar, a Swiss immigrant who settled in Chester, Illinois. This limestone home is a rare surviving example of vernacular architecture featuring a two-door facade, a design common in German-influenced domestic buildings.
