Turn-of-the-century Classical Revival Style

The Buemming House was nominated to the National Register for its local significance in the area of architecture. The Buemming House is architecturally significant as an outstanding example of the type of Classical Revival building popularized by the 1893 Columbian Exposition. In its simplicity, restraint and modest size, the Buemming house is an interesting example of a grandiose architectural scheme rendered on a small scale by a locally prominent architect early in his career as both a home for himself and also perhaps as an advertisement of his design skill. - NRHP
