Walk through these doors of the past and into this perfect reflection of upper middle class Victorian living.

With its wide variety of splendid woodwork in its original condition, its six fireplaces, gas light fixtures and original Anaglypta and Lincrusta wall coverings, it is a fine example of the kind of home built by the most prosperous Oshkosh lumber barons in the late 19th century.

Located at 234 Church Avenue in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, this Queen Anne style home was built in 1884 for John Rodgers Morgan, a founder of Oshkosh lumber company Morgan Brothers. Designed by local architects Adam Bell and Edwin Cole, the house has gable and hip roofs, a triangular dormer, a polygonal tower, a patterned masonry chimney and a front porch with stickwork frieze and balustrade.

In 1987 the Winnebago County Historical and Archaeological Society acquired the Morgan House (from heirs of Constance Misky and by purchase), and the Society is engaged in a long-term program of its restoration.  A major interior restoration project occurred in 2011.  Anyone interested in participating in this project and other events and programs is invited to become a member of the Winnebago County Historical and Archaeological Society.

Morgan House tours are available.
