By the spring of that year, a building permit had been procured to erect a house on the lot with a value of $865. August Ruter was a foreman and cigar maker for A.

Barber was especially known for his elaborate Queen Anneâstyle residences, many of which boasted towers, elaborate porches and a profusion of sawnwork ornamentation.

The Ruters chose Design No. 10 from his widely circulated catalog Cottage Souvenir No. 2. which contained designs and floor plans for fifty-nine houses.
