NYFE Summary

The Kreischer family’s brickworks made firebrick, roofing tiles and terra-cotta products. The business supported a nearby company settlement known as Kreischerville.

A polygonal corner tower and veranda give the wooden house its shape. Cut wooden ornaments fill the gables, and diamond patterns decorate the porch railing. These details contrast with the industrial business behind the family’s wealth.
