The John H. Herman House (also known as the Robert and Coleen Manderscheid House) is a historic house located at 711 South Story Street in Boone, Iowa.

Description and history

Herman was a local banker who served as an officer at the First National Bank. He had the Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson, who had just designed the bank's new building, design this house. It is one of nine known structures in Boone attributed to the firm. Local contractor Gust J. Carlson built the house in 1919.

It features a side gable, side porches offset from the main block, and high quality brick. This is only one of three of their houses of this quality located outside of the immediate Des Moines area. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
