The Joseph Schertz House is a historic house located on Illinois Route 116 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Metamora, Illinois. Built in 1862 for area pioneer Joseph Schertz, the house is an example of a Greek Revival styled I-house. The two-story house is composed of a central hall and stairway with a room on either side on each floor, the typical I-house floor plan, and is topped by a side gabled roof. Key Greek Revival elements of the house include its six-over-six windows with stone sills and lintels and its frieze board and cornice below the roof.[2]
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 1995.[1]
