NRHP Nomination Form"Built on a corner lot in the primary residential area east of the commercial center of town, the Kneip-Bredthauer House is a commodious example of a 2-story modified L-plan dwelling with Queen Anne detailing.
The modified L-plan dwelling features a double-gallery wrap-around porch of four bays nested between the cross gables formed by projecting ells on the west and south elevations. A rich variety of porch detailing includes slender turned-wood posts and balusters, spindle work porch friezes, and a shingled pent roof. The angled central bay, which served as the original entry bay, is surmounted by a false gable with imbricated shingle work and jigsaw bargeboard. Similar detailing appears in the gable ends, although pendentive brackets mark the angled cutaways of the projecting wings below. A transom surmounts the single door entry, while 2/2 wood sash windows are framed by pedimented architraves. Weatherboard siding clads the building. The elaborate roofscape features a pyramidal turret, standing-seam metal cladding, and cresting at the intersection of the ridgelines with the gable ends."
