Built in 1907 by Naperville businessman and manufacturer extraordinaire, Peter Kroehler, the Kroehler Mansion and its garage seem to defy architectural classification but they have an undeniable place in Naperville’s history. The 19-room house features a beautiful monogrammed mosaic entryway, original fireplaces, and a built-in safe.
