Summary
The Guhl Farmhouse, constructed in 1922, is significant locally as an exquisite example of the Prairie style American Foursquare house. It exhibits all of the most common features for identifying a house of this style: a low pitched, hipped roof with wide overhanging eaves, a one-story, full width porch, and fenestration featuring multi-light upper sashes. The interior of the house includes features that illustrate the style's emphasis on openness and efficiency including a multi-purpose living room, laundry chute, built-in desk and bookcase, and an elaborate buffet.
