Emma Kunz House
The Emma Kunz House was built around 1830. It is the earliest dated Greek Revival house in the Belleville area and possibly in the state of Illinois. The house was originally located on Washington Street and in 1972 was set to be demolished. The owners of the house at that time donated the house to the St. Clair County Historical Society and the house was then relocated to its present location at 602 Fulton Street in Belleville, Illinois. The house is named after Emma Kunz who lived here for 77 years and was the last resident of the house. Cake artist - David Ottinger

Victorian Home Museum
The Victorian Home Museum was built in 1866 by German immigrant, who later became a successful businessman in Belleville, Illinois, Morris Dobschutz. The home was built in the Greek Revival style, which dominated American architecture during this time period, consisting mainly of a floor plan with two rooms on each side of a central hallway. Each room of the museum features 19th century furnishings and set up in a way that would have been typical in Victorian era homes. Cake artist - Paul Laflam
