The Saegmuller House is a rare example of an Arlington County residence influenced by the Prairie Style. The house was likely built sometime between 1925 and 1927 for John Saegmuller. One of Arlington’s most prominent families, the Saegmullers owned approximately 240 acres of land in the northwestern part of the county and, between 1926 and 1939, operated one of Arlington’s most successful dairy farms. The Reserve Hill Farm was adjacent to the Saegmuller House. The house is one of the most stylish early-20th-century dwellings in the county, yet still illustrates the practical simplicity of rural architecture. The interior of the house retains its original floor plan and a high degree of historic and architectural integrity.
