Its significance is found in the Prairie School-style farmhouse designed by prominent Sioux City architect William L. Steele. This is the only known farmhouse designed by Steele.[2] The other well-preserved agricultural buildings on an early twentieth-century farmstead are also of significance. Holtze Construction of Sioux City built the house, and it was the first building constructed by the new company.[2] Aaron Gunderson built the dairy barn.
