About the Home

The building was constructed as a single family home in 1902.  It was originally built by
W.A. Given and purchased in 1920 by Frank and Minnie Berg.  Frank was a custodian with the
Emporia School system for many years and his wife Minnie was a school teacher.  In 1928 their son
Carl Berg married Marie Specht in a small ceremony that took place in front of the curved glass
window of the house.  The Berg's owned the home for over 40 years.  Following their departure  
from the home, it changed hands many times and used mostly as rental property.   In 1992 the
building underwent a major renovation and was opened as a Bed and Breakfast.  The home was
featured with three other historical homes on the 2006 Holiday Homes Tour presented by The Lyon
County Historical Society.
