The Presser Home was built in 1914, and expanded in 1931. It is a three-story, "H"-shaped, buff Roman brick building in the Italian Renaissance Revival-style. It features limestone and terra cotta decorative elements. The Presser Carriage House was built in 1898, and is a 2 1/2-story, gray brick, Tudor Revival-style carriage house.^[2]
