The complex consists of a combination house / shop, warehouse / showroom, and carriage house. The combination house / shop was built in 1878, and is a two-story, brick and frame building in the Italianate style. Two small two-story, frame additions were built in 1885 and 1910. The John F. Lutz Furniture warehouse / showroom building was built in 1900, and is a four-story building also in the Italianate style. A four-story brick addition was built in 1928 and a two-story, concrete block addition in 1955. The two-story, brick carriage house was built in 1896. It is also in the Italianate style. John F. Lutz (1863-1936) was a furniture maker, who also built coffins. As such, he also learned to be an undertaker and operated a funerary business. The John F. Lutz Co. remained in business until 1968, after which a furniture outlet occupied the warehouse / showroom building until 1990.^[2]
