Michael H. Sauser had been an area farmer and owned a Cascade lumber business when he built this house in 1908.

It is the only known example of the Grand Rapids, Michigan mail order architectural firm of Jacob H. Daverman and Son in Iowa.

The 2½-story frame house is a combination of Neoclassical and a restrained version of the Queen Anne style known as Edwardian.

The Neoclassical influence is found in the window trim, cornice returns, and the Doric porch columns.
