The Reinhard and Amelia Schendel House is a historic Queen Anne style house located at 211 North Ludington Street in Columbus, Wisconsin.

Description and history

The house was built in 1894 for Reinhard Schendel, a Prussian immigrant and lumber dealer, and his wife Amelia. The house includes a tower on one corner and a wraparound porch, both typical features of Queen Anne architecture. The gable ends of the house are covered in decorative wood shingles in various designs; the left gable end features star-shaped shingles around a full moon, the front gable end features shingles shaped like playing card suits, and the right gable end includes more suit-shaped shingles and a variety of other shapes. The Schendel couple lived in the house until Amelia died in 1924. The house is now used for apartments.[2]

On June 7, 2010, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
