Built by farmer Jacob Beck on twenty acres of land in 1864, this brick house features classic Greek Revival elements including gable returns with dentils, an off an center entrance with sidelights and a transom, paneled windows with shutters and frieze windows in the upper story. “Originally a one and a half story house, the roof was raised in the 1880s to accommodate higher ceilings. The bay window on the west is a modern addition” (Wineberg 2014). Today the house is home to John and Laura Baur.
