The B.J. Ricker House is a historic dwelling located in Grinnell, Iowa, United States. The significance of this house is that it is an early example of Walter Burley Griffin's work.[2] Construction on the house began in 1911, but millwork and labor problems pushed its completion to 1912.[2] The two-story brick house features a rectangular plan, a high cement basement, four broad brick piers on the corners, and a gable roof that appears to hover over the main block. The veranda on the south side of the house follows a Greek cross plan. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
