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] As of 2009, the building houses the offices of the President, Institutional Advancement, Alumni Relations, and Communications.[3]

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]

gollark: Imagine you got a list containing both ATypes and BTypes and want to display a list of them or something. The logic for each is somewhat different because they represent slightly different entities.
gollark: You could just have a "thing type" field in them but then you're just doing tagged unions in an indirect way.
gollark: If you want, say, a list of AType values and BType ones, TS has *un*tagged union types for that, but you then have to do stupid stuff to discriminate between them.
gollark: Oh, it's nice for abstract syntax trees too, not that that comes up in frontend development much.
gollark: That doesn't sound very nicely typeable.
