2016- "The McFarland Lutheran Church congregation had this house built for their pastor. Rev. Realf O. Brandt was the first resident in October, 1900. The exterior of the house combines the style of Queen Anne and Colonial Revival. Special features include the Palladian windows on the front upper story and the porch details. The church sold the property in 1955. In the 1990's, Gilbert and Carolyn Splett remodeled the interior to make the house a Bed and Breakfast. The house has eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Craig Wrobel continued the B&B business from 2003 until 2015, when he sold it to a multi-generational family."
