Narrative Description (Describe the historic and current physical appearance and condition of the property. Describe contributing and noncontributing resources if applicable. Begin with a summary paragraph that briefly describes the general characteristics of the property, such as its location, type, style, method of construction, setting, size, and significant features. Indicate whether the property has historic integrity). Summary Paragraph An example of Italianate architecture with Queen Anne influences, designed and built by the St. Louis architect Henry E. Peipers. It is two story brick, with a slate roof, wooden windows, shutters and porches, stone sills and keystones. Its integrity is intact: its rooms function and look as they did at the time of its building in 1884. The nomination includes the house, a contributing building; the garage, a non-contributing building; and the gazebo, a non-contributing structure. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description Setting. The house is set on three city lots, each 50' wide and 150' deep, as laid out by its original owner, Ernst Tiedemann, in his platting of the area. The house sits in the center of the middle lot, equidistant from Washington Street in front (to the south) and an alleyway in the back (north). The front is marked by three trees: a magnolia to the east, a sugar maple in the center, and a pine tree to the west. There are mature trees (magnolias, redbuds, a pin oak) along the side lots, and across the back (weeping cherry, pecan, ash, sycamore, red bud.) There is a grape arbor still hosting the vines planted by Louis Tiedemann, son of the owner, along the east yard, and a small gazebo. The westernmost of the three lots includes a garage built in 1988, replacing a barn lost to a fire. Like the barn it replaced, the garage uses board and batten siding. The neighborhood is dominated by single-family dwellings. There are also two churches, a funeral home, and a few multi-family houses. Neighborhood homes include another Italianate (the funeral home), an I-house, a Downing cottage, and a clapboard Queen Anne. Directly across the street to the south sits a brick Gothic Revival. The neighborhood is one block north of O'Fallon's business district. Elevations. South (Front) Elevation. The roof is hipped, sheathed in slate. Wooden box gutters, lined with copper, and topped with an ornamental copper molding, outline the roof edge. A gabled dormer with lunette windows is visible in the attic story. A two-story, three-sided bay extends out from the main body of the house, to the west. To the east, inset from the bay, steps lead to the wooden front porch, called the porch in the plans. The porch has wood supports, square in section, with segmental-arched braces between them. Decorative elements on the porch include jigsaw-cut balustrades on the first floor and the balcony, dentils on the cornice, bull’s eye medallions on the centers and ends of the braces, and pendants beneath the center of each brace. The front façade has ten one-over-one double-hung wooden windows; five on each floor. The windows on the other elevations are two-over-two. All of the windows have segmental arches, stone sills, and double-track storms installed within the window recesses. Most windows have operational louvered wood shutters; the windows on the west, east, and south elevations have keystones. Bricks are laid in a common bond pattern with notably thin mortar courses. Walls are 13” thick, 17” in the foundation. The principal difference between the plans and the finished house is in the front bay, originally conceived as one-story but executed as two-story. Some pencil marks on the Front (South) Elevation plan indicate that change. Other details in the plans, principally minor decorative elements, seem not to have been executed, judging from the earliest known photograph.

West Elevation. The house presents its most monolithic aspect from the west, broken up only by a slight inset at the point where the kitchen wing projects to the north. The central body of the house presents a gabled dormer, three upstairs and four downstairs windows, with three basement windows and a wide cellar door also visible at ground level. The kitchen wing, projecting to the north, has its own smaller dormer, one upstairs and one downstairs window. It also has a basement window at ground level, a departure from the plan. North Elevation. Seen from the north, the facade insets to allow for the wooden, but slate-roofed, back porch. This elevation presents the house’s only gable front. This elevation presents the house’s only gable front. A gabled dormer looks north; two-over-two windows appear, one up and one down, in the gabled wing, similarly in the main wing. There are two back doors under the porch, one leading into the north sitting (now dining) room, the other into the kitchen. Again, there is a basement window at ground level not indicated on the original plan. East Elevation. The facade facing east is broken up both by the porch and by the small conservatory, which projects out four feet from the first story only. The conservatory has three east-facing windows, and one which faces south. There is a decorative wooden entablature above each window. This elevation offers the clearest indication of Queen Anne influences, with a considerable complexity of contrasting roof lines: dormers, porches, conservatory, gable end, and bay. Again, faint traces of pencil outline indicate the plan’s change from one-story to two-story bay. The kitchen wing balances two upstairs windows with a downstairs window and the kitchen door. The main wing shows three upstairs windows and one downstairs, left of the conservatory. As in the front elevation, the two windows to the north are one-over-one. With its complexity of roof lines and unbalanced window arrangement, this façade is thoroughly asymmetrical. Interiors. The front entrance is through double doors, each containing an etched-glass panel (Fig. 1) The entryway is anything but grand, a simple hallway. It, like each of the downstairs rooms except the kitchen, contains a ceiling medallion. A curving staircase leads upstairs, with walnut handrail and balusters, and an octagonal newel post set off with burl insets. Three four-panel doors lead off the hallway; the panels are painted with a faux-grain finish imitating book-matched burled walnut (Fig. 2). Throughout the house, doors are surmounted with operable transom windows. The quality of the workmanship is evident in details like faux-graining (Fig. 2) and ceiling medallions (Figs. 3-4) as well as in the obvious durability of the structure. The brass hardware used throughout is marked by Eastlake motifs (Fig. 5). The door to the left (or west) of the entrance leads to the front parlor. The parlor includes a three-window bay, and a fourth window on the west wall. Each of the windows (like all of the downstairs windows) is seven feet tall; raised panels continue the line of the window from the sill to the floor. There is a carved marble fireplace (functional). The ceilings are eleven and a half feet tall. A picture molding extends around the room, eighteen inches below the ceiling. The floors here and throughout the house are tongue and groove old growth heart pine which has aged into a russet, almost iced-tea shade. These boards required no subfloor; they are nailed directly into the joists, fully-dimensioned pine. Walls and ceilings are plaster throughout the house. Ceilings and non-bearing walls are lath and plaster; for all other walls plaster is laid directly onto brick. Pocket doors open on to the dining room (now the music room). There is chair rail and wainscoting around the room. On the north wall are four cabinet doors which open to a pass-through cupboard which leads to the pantry. These doors and the pocket doors are faux-grained to imitate birds-eye maple. Appropriately for a dining room, the ceiling medallion depicts clusters of plums (Fig. 4) The chair rail and wainscoting continue through the pantry and into the well-lit kitchen, with windows on three walls. In general, the number and size of the windows evidences the care taken to provide the

house with plentiful light in the era before electrification1. A door opens east to the back porch. South from the kitchen, a back hallway includes a back stairway up to the library and another down to the basement. A door off this hallway leads to the sitting room (now the dining room) which includes at the far (east) end a small conservatory. The downstairs closet in this room has been outfitted as a half-bath. Opposite is a second stairway leading down to the basement. The fireplace is faux-painted to imitate a tri-color marble. A door from the sitting room leads to the downstairs bedroom. One window faces east, two look south onto the porch. The woodwork is faux-grained birds-eye maple, and, as in the front parlor, the window embrasures continue from sill to floor with raised panels. There is a fireplace with a white marble hearth and faux-marble paint. Up the front stairs from the hallway is the great hall, now library. The room measures approximately twenty-three feet east-west and twenty-six feet north-south. Three windows look out to the west, and a glass-paneled door to the south leads to the balcony. The ceilings in the upper story are slightly shorter than on the ground floor, as are the windows. The balustrade around the stairs, also walnut railed and picketed, is visible at the opposite end of the room. Just past it is the door to the servant's room, now a walk-in closet. (As was typical in the period, there are only two small closets to serve the three upstairs bedrooms.) To the right of the stairs is a short, arched, hallway that leads to the bathroom with its built-in copper tub. The copper tub is indicated in the plans. Around the library are the three upstairs bedrooms. All of the doors off the library continue the theme of faux-grained book-matched walnut. The front bedroom includes the bay with its three windows. (This is the room where dimensions depart from those given in the plans, since the original plans did not include the bay.) The bedroom to its left has two windows that look out onto the balcony, and a third window looking east. Both these bedrooms have fireplaces, neither of which is in use. The third, bedroom has two windows looking east over the conservatory and a third over the porch. This room lacks a fireplace, but has a flue, presumably to allow use of a heating stove. Above the second story is the attic, an unfinished space which once contained the gutter-fed water tank to supply the upstairs bathroom. Below the west half of the house are three basement rooms. The room beneath the front parlor has been made into a large bathroom. Integrity. The Tiedemann House has sufficient integrity for listing in the National Register. This integrity can be attributed in part to the fact that it has had only two owners in its history. Outside of general maintenance and necessary updates, the property has changed little since its construction in 1884 (see Fig. 6, historic photograph). The slate roof has been replaced with a new slate roof. The box gutters with their copper lining have been replaced, along with downspouts and flashings. The principal chimney was rebuilt; three others were repaired. The original double hung windows are in place. New wooden shutters have been added. The porch, labeled the veranda on the floor plans, had been replaced in the 1940s; it was restored with salvaged period materials (see Fig. 7, house photograph, 1973). In 1974, there was a water pipe hanging across the upstairs library (Fig. 8). The conservatory, which had been converted into a small bathroom, needed to be restored. The upstairs bathroom's built-in tub had been painted white (Fig. 9). Underneath the many layers of paint was the original copper. The copper has been replaced and the tub is still in use. There was a gigantic holding tank for gutter-fed water in the attic. It was made of 1/4” steel plate, and it was supported by 2” x 18" beams. It was designed to hold over a thousand gallons

1 Apparently, the house went straight from oil lamps to electric light with no intervening stop at gaslight.

of water and fed the upstairs bathroom. This was reputed to be the first indoor plumbed bathroom in O'Fallon. The tank was removed. Still extant is another source for water storage, an underground cistern. This is a domed brick construction, also fed by guttering, also capable of holding over a thousand gallons. A brick filtering wall runs along one side; piping feeds into the basement. It is possible that water from the underground cistern could have been heated and used for laundry; it is conceivable that heated water could have been carried upstairs to the copper tub. The back (servant) stairs were worn remarkably thin. Turn-of-the-century wiring, plumbing, and heating systems all were replaced. Although cast iron radiators remain in use, they were removed from their original placement in front of the fireplaces. As discussed above, the house as completed departs from its architectural plan in the extension of the front bay up to the second story. This change is indicated in pencil on the original plan and is evident in the earliest photograph of the house. At some time, a greenhouse was attached to the east elevation of the property (See figures While it does not appear on the original plans or in the photograph dated shortly after its construction, it is on the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, first appearing in 1899 (Fig. 10). The 1928 Sanborn maps, which were updated in 1938, still show the greenhouse. The greenhouse does not appear in the photograph of the house in the Illinois Structures Survey, which was taken between 1970 and 1975.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Statement of Significance Summary Paragraph (Provide a summary paragraph that includes level of significance, applicable criteria, justification for the period of significance, and any applicable criteria considerations) The Tiedemann House meets Criterion C for Architecture as a good local example of Italianate and Queen Anne architecture. The period of significance is 1884, the year it was built. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Statement of Significance (Provide at least one paragraph for each area of significance.) History. Ernst Tiedemann was one of the three brothers who emigrated from Germany to the United States in the period after the failed revolutions of 1848. Ernst arrived in Belleville in 1852. He was appointed deputy country surveyor, and one of his tasks was surveying the original town of O’Fallon in 1854, the year it officially became a town. Later he relocated to Nebraska where he continued his work as a surveyor and later farmed. In 1859 he went to Colorado to join the Pike’s Peak gold rush and explored in the wilderness before moving to a ranch near Denver where he was engaged in the stock business, which proved profitable. In 1863 he married, and in 1865 returned to O’Fallon to open the town’s largest general store [Fig. 11]. He served 3 terms as President of the town’s Board of Trustees. Architecture. Tiedemann hired St. Louis architect Henry Peipers, who also emigrated from Germany, to design his home. The house, completed in 1884, shows influences of both the Italianate and Queen Anne styles. The Italianate style began in England as part of the Picturesque movement. Unlike classical revival styles based on models of ancient Greece and Rome, the Italianate style was inspired by rural farmhouses of the Italian villas. It was one of the most popular of styles in the United States between 1850 and 1880 and was particularly common in the growing towns of the Midwest.2 Common characteristics of the style include long narrow windows with 1/1 or 2/2 lights, arched window openings, window hoods, brackets, low-pitched hipped roofs with wide eaves. Queen Anne-style architecture also began in England, under the direction of British architect Richard Norman Shaw. Although Shaw and his contemporaries based their designs upon Medieval architecture of the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras, it became known as the Queen Anne style. In the United States it was common during from 1880 to 1910; the availability of pattern books and prefabricated parts were factors in the style’s widespread popularity. Half-timbered and masonry patterned masonry subtypes in the United States more closely resembled the examples in England. The spindlework and free-classic varieties are local representations.3 Common characteristics of the style are high-pitched irregular-shaped roofs, asymmetrical facades, textured wall surfaces, and projecting architectural features such as bays and towers. The Tiedemann House possesses characteristics of both Italianate and Queen Anne architecture. One of the key characteristics of the Italianate style is its use of the segmental arch, visible in this house over the windows and in the decorative wooden arches between the porch columns. The porch colonnade is itself typical of the Italianate style, as is the house’s over-all “L”-shaped plan. Also characteristic of the style is the prominent angled bay window, a key Italianate component, and the wooden shutters that flank the windows. On the interior, the staircase, fireplaces, wainscoting, doors and trim are all Italianate features.

The Queen Anne influences are found in the gabled dormer windows, the jigsaw-cut balusters on the front porch and balcony, the complex rooflines, and the etched glass on the front doors. The influence of the Queen Anne style is more apparent in the architect’s rendering of the house, which posits a higher pitched roof and decorative finials on the roof and dormers. This plan, which would have generated contrasting masses in the front façade, was evidently jettisoned in the process of building, as indicated by some pencil sketching on the plans, in favor of an extension of the bay all the way to the second story. The Tiedemann House was identified in the Illinois Structures Survey, a statewide survey of properties of architectural interest that was conducted between 1970 and 1975 in areas of 500 population or greater. No residences appeared in the inventory that showed characteristics of both styles, but two Italianate-style houses and five Queen Anne houses were identified. Both Italianate houses are brick and have low-pitched hipped roofs. These date earlier than Tiedemann as both have Greek Revival-styled sidelights and transoms around the entry door. The property located at 207 W. 2nd is the most similar to the Tiedemann House but its original porch has been replaced sometime in the 1950s or 1960s with wrought-iron porch supports and balcony. The other property at 102 W. Washington has a classically-inspired porch which was added sometime between 1906 and 1914, according to the Sanborn Maps. All of the Queen Anne examples are frame and bear little resemblance to the Tiedemann House. Two are the spindlework variety, named for its spindlework ornament. The house at 217 N. Oak still has good integrity but the house at 308 W. Third has lost all of its character defining features. The remainder are Free Classic subtype, characterized by classical elements. The property at 302 W. Adams Street is the best representation of the Free Classic Queen Anne style. The properties at 212 W. Adams and 223 N. Lincoln Avenue have lost their porch balustrades. Conclusion. The Tiedemann House is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places for architectural significance. Its distinctive characteristics reflect the transition from the Italianate to the Queen Anne style, which occurred in the United States during the late nineteenth century. The house, which has only been occupied by two families since its construction in 1884, has experienced few alterations over time and has excellent integrity.
