The John J. Kaminer House is believed to have been constructed ca. 1880, by Kaminer, a member of the building committee of Richland Presbyterian Church. It is a frame, weatherboarded, one-and-one-half-story cottage. It has a gable roof with box cornice and returns; two gable-roofed dormers pierce the front slope of the roof. The house is architecturally significant as a good, relatively intact example of a late nineteenth century cottage. The five-bay symmetrical façade and shed-roofed front porch are typical of this house form that was commonly constructed in the mid- to late-nineteenth century. Notable features which distinguish the Kaminer House from simpler examples include unusual cast-iron porch balusters, corbeled brick chimneys and a central entrance with rectangular transom and sidelights. There is a one-story, gable-roofed ell on the rear of the house. The property also contains two old frame sheds and many modern sheds. Listed in the National Register March 27, 1986.
