"109 East 3rd Street, Idemann-Quandt House, c. 1840/alt. 1858-9, Contributing (survey #74)
Outbuildings: Smokehouse, contributing; Carport, non-contributing; Guesthouse, noncontributing
Built into a hill, the house is 2-story on the front, but its second story is at grade in the rear.
The house is a mix of construction materials with a brick first floor and rear wall, and a
fachwerk and frame second story sided in vinyl. The house sits on a stone foundation and
has a corrugated metal side gable roof with centered chimney. The façade is 4-bays wide
with entrances at the first and second bays from the east. First floor windows have flat
arches and replacement windows. The four second story windows are also modern
replacement windows. The replacement windows and modern siding impact the integrity of
the property, but the retention of the first floor brick and historic roofing material help this
building convey its historic period. To the east of the building is a gable front garage that
has been converted into a guest house with shed roof addition. It is clad in vinyl siding.
Behind the house is a small brick, gable roof smoke house. At the back of the lot is a shed
roof carport." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
"Built in two stages, ca. 1840 and 1858-9. The earliest section of
the house is half-timbered with brick nogging probably dating before
1841 and built by or for J.B. Idemann. At the time of the street
grading, a local builder, John Quandt, Jr., acquired the property and
added the east room built of wood frame and the brick first story
beneath the original house, as well as a rear open porch. Sometime
prior to 1892 the rear porch was framed in with new siding over all
in either endwall of the house and a brick wall constructed at the
rear elevation, second story grade level. The brick smokehouse was
built between 1892 and 1898. The house was lived in for many years
by Friedrich Kraemer--shoemaker--who probably had his shop in the
ground floor.
"General description: Two and one half story rectangle shaped
building constructed of brick laid in common bond on the first story
and frame (possibly braced frame) at the second with a brick rear wall.
"setting: The house sits virtually at the sidewalk on the façade
and is built into the side of the hill behind so that the rear wall
of the house is part of a high stone retaining wall--on the east
it has been replaced with concrete. The rear entrance is at the
second story which is ground level." ~ DNR Historic Survey PDF page 367
