Nicholas Johannes, a German immigrant and carpenter by trade, purchased the home in 1882 and displayed his skill by twice expanding its basic rectangle to form a “T.” An open porch originally spanned the front, and a later porch extension (now enclosed) wrapped around the south side. Although the two-story frame home is now clad in stucco, its gable-front roof, simple cornice, and lovely front door recall the home’s nineteenth-century origins.","sponsor":null,"accessinfo":"Private","lede":"","website":"","related_resources":["<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/2c2afcc9-c5d4-42dd-92e6-240499c476a1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read about the Helena South-Central Historic District</a>","<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/c921dea4-8541-4ac1-b9c3-cb878d69fdbc/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See photos of the Helena South-Central Historic District</a>"],"factoids":[],"files":{"https://mail.historicmt.org/files/fullsize/8a21d9639db4cb5966933bd54cbe91fa.jpg":{"id":4033,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Nicholas Johannes House","description":"Nicholas Johannes House.
