J.H. Riekenberg House

The J.H. Riekenberg House is a historic residence located in Boone, Iowa, United States. Born in Schleswig, Germany, Riekenberg emigrated to the United States in 1867, and became a successful businessman and civic leader in Boone. He had Charles E. Edwins, a local architect, design this house, and local contractor J.J. Thoren built it in 1898.[2] The 2½-story, frame Queen Anne house features an asymmetrical plan, steeply pitched roof, a wrap-around front porch, a variety of wall surface texture, an octagonal corner tower, and Palladian elements in the gable ends. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
