Step back in time with this one-of-a-kind Queen Anne-style residence, registered with the Wisconsin Historical Society as the Jacob Ruby House. Built in 1890, this architecturally significant home showcases classic period details, including beveled stained-glass windows, intricately carved block moldings, and a stunning banister. Currently owned by Carroll University, the property was renovated for office use while preserving its historic character. The home features two half baths, with space and potential to restore original bathtubs. Two of the spacious bedrooms include sinks, and the attic is accessible through one of the upper rooms. Previously a two-family home, it still retains dual A/C units, offering comfort and flexibility for various configurations--
