Kessler House

This two-story brick is built with the gable end facing Cherry Street. It was positioned this way in order to fit on a narrower lot. The home is entered by a side doorway, which is covered by a brick columned porch. The architecture is a popular hybrid of the day called Dutch Mission. It features a Dutch Colonial gambrel roofline along with a flat-roofed sunroom and porch and interior finishes in the Prairie Mission style. There are shed dormers on both sides. The house is two bays wide and three bays deep. Three-over-one windows are located on each floor. The house was built approximately in 1927 and is similar design to the Decker House at 656 W. 7th Street also built that year. It is classified as a contributing property on the National Register of Historic Places.
