It was originally constructed for the brewer Jacob Ruppert Sr. (1842–1915), the father of Jacob Ruppert, in 1883.[2] His parents originally came from Bavaria.[3] The building was designed by William Schickel.[4]

The house featured a small German kneipstube, or taproom, which still exists.[2][4] The structure itself was sold by the heirs and torn down in 1925.
