Kopperl House   •  4212 Avenue F

The Kopperl House in 1917.

The late Victorian Kopperl House is an excellent and unusually intact example of the Eastlake Style, popular in many parts of the United States in the late 1800s. The house has six fireplaces and 11-foot ceilings throughout, and its wrap-around verandah encircles much of three sides of the house. It retains its original carriage block, cistern, and two outbuildings.

The decorating style and heirloom furnishings of the house complement the interior, with its lofty ceilings, strong colors, and William Morris-influenced details. The garden, planted with many turn-of-the-century garden denizens, is as comfortable in the twenty-first century as it was in the nineteenth and presents an appearance that would be familiar to the original owner of the house.
