The F.X. Rittenmeyer House is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. Built in the mid 1870s, this two-story brick house is a typical residential building found in Iowa City from this era.[2] While it lacks the elaborate window hoods and broad cornice typically found on these houses, it does include bracketed eaves. There is also a single story kitchen wing off the back of the house. Somewhat unique to this house is the front porch with its geometrically patterned frieze, which is thought to be a later addition.[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
