Rudolph Nims House, Greek Revival residence in Monroe, Michigan.
The Rudolph Nims House features a two-story frame structure with clapboard siding, measuring 32 feet by 32 feet on a fieldstone foundation at 206 West Noble Street.
Jacques Godfroy constructed the house in 1846 after receiving a government land grant, selling it to business partner Rudolph Nims in 1848, who owned it for over a century.
The residence displays classical Greek Revival elements through its two-story Doric portico, blind recess entry, and floor-length sliding windows on the front facade.
The property underwent several expansions, including a dining room in 1850, a small room in 1863, a summer kitchen in 1911, and a porch addition in 1914.
The front entrance features an architectural illusion with a blind recess simulating a door, flanked by full-length windows that slide into the walls.
