The Idemann-Quandt House is a contributing structure to the Hermann Historic District. The form was prepared on September 1, 1971 by Stephen J. Raiche, Research Historian with the Missouri State Park Board, State Historic Survey and Planning Office. A statement of the historic district's significance begins on page 7:
The Hermann Historic District has primary importance as a prototype German settlement in Missouri. The District contains a high concentration of nineteenth century buildings which illustrate the architectural tastes of Missouri's early German immigrants. Many structures from the original construction, and others, especially commercial buildings, have endured only minor changes primarily in the street facades. Although numerous individual buildings are historically significant in themselves, the entire district considered as an entity, is most effective to portray German town life in Missouri.
The Idemann-Quant House at 109 East 3rd Street has an architectrual description on page 151:
109 East 3rd Street, Idemann-Quandt House, c 1840/alt. 1858-9, Contributing (survey #74)(Submitted on January 27, 2026, by Devry Becker Jones of Washington, District of Columbia.)
Outbuildings: Smokehouse, contributing; Carport, non-contributing; Guesthouse, non-contributingBuiltinto a hill, the house is 2-story on the front, but its second story is at grade in the rear. The house is a mix of construction materials with a brick first floor and rear wall, and a fachwerk and frame second story sided in vinyl. The house sits on a stone foundation and has a corrugated metal side gable roof with centered chimney. The faηade is 4-bays wide with entrances at the first and second bays from the east. First floor windows have flat arches and replacement windows. The four second story windows are also modern replacement windows. The replacement windows and modern siding impact the integrity of the property, but the retention of the first floor brick and historic roofing material help this building convey its historic period. To the east of the building is a gable front garage that has been converted into a guest house with shed roof addition. It is clad in vinyl siding. Behind the house is a small brick, gable roof smoke house. At the back of the lot is a shed roof carport.
