Two stage building. The first stage was built by John G. Prager, a wheelwright, ca. 1845. This early stage is the gable fronted right hand portion of the present structure. After Prager's death in the cholera epidemic of 1849, William Jaennike married the widow and lived in the house until his death in 1886. Jaennike was a stone and brick mason. The end gable addition to the left of the original structure was built ca. 1880-85.
