Warsaw, Indiana

Warsaw is a small city within Kosciusko County in northeast Indiana. Despite being named after the capital of Poland (in a county named for Polish hero Tadeusz Kościuszko), the town and larger county have very little Jewish history.

Justin Zimmer House

See Alvin M. Strauss

The most prevalent item of Jewish history in Kosciusko County is the Justin Zimmer House. Designed and built in 1934 by Jewish architect Alvin M. Strauss, the building was home to Justin Zimmer, founder of a medical device manufacturer in Warsaw. Strauss's design is one of two remaining Tudor Revival houses in Warsaw and has transformed into a bed and breakfast over the years.
