1850. 115 N. Gilbert St.
The Rohret house represents a Greek Revival type frequently built in Iowa in the decades of the 1840s and 1850s. The two-story house exhibits a simple, direct plan; there is a central hall with staircase on both floors and then one room on each side of the two halls. There are stone lintels over the windows and doors; a row of dentils flows along under the soffit of the gable roof and a transom light is carried above the front door. In 1910 this brick house was moved a short distance to make way for another dwelling. At that time a porch with piers and balustrade was added to the front of the house.
