George M. Keller, son of John H. Keller, was the owner in 1937.

This is a two and one half story, L-shaped brick house with gabled, metal roof and three chimneys - one outside and two inside. The bricks are laid in common bond. The cornices are plain wood. There are eighteen windows having twelve 10x12 panes. The shutters have stationary slats. The porch across the front has fancy scalloped cornice. A small side porch has dental cornice. The front entrance is a six-panel, two-cross door with five-pane transom. The porch columns are square.

There are eight large rooms and the ceiling height is eight and one half feet. The open-string stairway has small square balusters and a round newell with ball on top. The cellar has a hard dirt floor. The doors are four-panel and six-panel and made from pine. The walls are papered. The doors have outside iron locks and brass knobs. The floors are of medium wide boards. There are five plain paneled mantels over the fireplaces.

This house has battle scars where a minie ball went through a window, and a shutter has a hole showing where part of it was knocked out.
