This one-and-a-half-story house is representative of turn-of-the-twentieth-century residential buildings in Harrison. It has an irregular plan, a foundation of stone, and walls of wood. The house has a large wraparound porch with a turned-wood balustrade between slender Doric columns, and the facade’s gable features a small Palladian window. German immigrant and flour miller Charles F. Czech built the house, which in 1946 was purchased by bank president R. G. Rhodes, who lived here until his death in 1988. The small house on the property that Czech built for his engineers still stands and has been converted into an apartment attached to a carport.
