Architect Julius Franke exhibited the strong influence of famed architect Henry Hobson Richardson when designing this Romanesque Revival house in 1890. The rough texture of the massive blocks in the round arches and on the facade suggest the origin of the limestone brought from an Indiana quarry by rail.
