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.
