Although lived in by Celia until her death in 1975, the house overwhelmingly reflects the tastes and life-style of a typical middle-class American family between the two world wars, the result perhaps of a conscious attempt by Bertha and Celia to preserve within their home the memory of Frederick, who died in 1933. With virtually all of its original furnishings, placed as when lived in by Celia, the Kruse House offers visitors a singularly authentic experience of the past. The large and elaborate garden, the center of Celia’s life, with its original rock terraces and lily pond, has been restored and is maintained by the West Chicago Garden Club.
