History

The Lieblein House was built in 1895 by William Washburn, who owned a local Hancock clothing store. [2] In about 1905, Washburn sold the house to Edward Lieblein, a wholesale grocer who owned stores in Hancock and Calumet. [2] The house remained in the Lieblein family until 1979, when Edward Lieblein Jr. [2] sold it to Suomi College (now Finlandia University). [3] The college renamed it the "Vaino & Judith Hoover Center" after the patrons Vaino and Judith Hoover who funded the purchase. [3] At the time of Finlandia's closing in 2023, the building housed the offices of the President, Institutional Advancement, Alumni Relations, and Communications. [3] In October 2024, the house was sold to a private individual. [4]

Description

The Lieblein House is a rectangular, two-and-a-half-story Queen Anne style house, sitting on a sandstone foundation and covered with rectangular and fishscale shingles. [2] It has an enclosed wrap-around porch with Doric columns and narrow one-over-one windows. [2] The narrow windows are also used in a three-story polygonal turret topped with a galvanized metal roof and spire. [2] The porch and turret gives the facade both horizontal and vertical lines. [2] A bay window and multiple multi-paned and double-hung windows light the interior. The roof is gabled on three sides, with leaded glass Palladian windows in the side gables. [2]
