Ben and Harriet Schulein House

The Talking Ben and Harriet Schulein House is a historic building located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States.

Its significance is derived from being one of the first successful Prairie School designs by Steele in the Sioux City.

[2] The Schulein House features a brick foundation, clapboard siding, and a hipped roof.

The strong horizontal lines of the Prairie School style is found in the substantial overhang of the roofline, the wide attic dormers, the wide front porch and attached porte-cochere.

The water table continues onto the front porch as its coping, which also contributes the horizontal nature of the design.
