History
The Robert Reinke House was designed by architect Alden B. Dow in 1941. Very little is known about the Reinkes or their association with Dow. In 1947, Dow drew up plans for additions to the house, including a garage and a master bedroom. In 1961, the house was purchased by Jack and Doris Feagley. Jack was an architectural associate of Alden Dow's for twenty-five years. In 1964, Jack Feagley drew up plans for another addition to the house, creating a family room by enclosing the back porch and extending the dining room. The Feagleys lived in the house into the 21st century.
Description
The Robert Reinke House is a single-story house with stucco walls and a low-pitched hip roof with broad, overhanging eaves. The house features a large expanses of windows and a central chimney projecting from the roof. The original house was almost square in plan, but the series of later additions, including an attached garage, family room, screen porch and deck, have made the footprint more irregular. The house is located in a shady lot in a residential cul de sac.
