The house was built in 1892 for William Riggert, a Reedsburg banker and merchant.

Riggert was also active in local politics, serving as Reedsburg's village president and a member of its city council.

Architect Willard W. Rork designed the two-and-a-half story Queen Anne style house.

The house's design features a wraparound front porch supported by turned columns, a bay window with ornamental brackets, a small second-story porch above the front entrance, and decorative bargeboard within gables on the west and south sides.
