About This Home
Beautifully restored Colonial-style home in the heart of downtown Escanaba, built in 1900 by Herman (Salinsky) Gessner, founder of the Fair Savings Bank and Fair Store. This rare historic gem offers four floors of living space with 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, multiple family rooms and seating areas, an office, two upstairs balconies, and covered porches with Classical Revival-style columns. Original features include carved oak trim, tiled fireplaces with oak mantles, hardwood floors, and leaded glass windows that fill the home with natural light. Thoughtfully updated for modern living, the kitchen, bathrooms, basement, and third floor have been recently renovated. The double-lot yard is beautifully landscaped, perfect for outdoor entertaining, and includes a large two-car garage—the original carriage house—with a second floor for storage or studio space. Lovingly maintained and passed through only four owners, this home is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Escanaba’s history.
