The Meisch House

Built in 1888, one year after South Sioux City, Nebraska was incorporated, is the Meisch House. Very little is known about the builder, Peter Meisch, except that he owned a brick company. Local legend holds that he set up a kiln directly west of the site and fired the bricks to construct the house. The Meisch House is a well preserved and notably elaborate example of a well preserved and notably elaborate example of one of Nebraska's most common house types: a one-story "square" or "cubic" house. It remains the best example of an early brick house in South Sioux City.
