This one-story, fachwerk house is constructed of handmade brick and hewn cedar timbers, held together with wooden pegs. Judge Stiehl, the first German-born Fayette County judge, lived here with his family until they sold the house to the local literary society. The building is still used as a meeting place for local clubs.
