The Alois and Annie Weber House is a historic building located in Keokuk, Iowa, United States.[2] The significance of the three-story house is its association with the period of industrial growth in the city when it was built and as a fine local example of the Second Empire style.[3] It features an asymmetrical concave mansard roof, decorative brackets, and pedimented dormer windows. The house is noteworthy for its tall narrow windows and high ceilings.[4] Two additions were added to the rear of the house not long after the main house was built. The Queen Anne-style wraparound porch is supported by 14 classical columns. It also features a balustrade and spindlework along the beadboard ceiling. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]

Alois Weber founded A. Weber & Co., a hardware business and was known throughout the Midwest.[4] He ran the business until his death in 1917. His wife Annie owned a millinery shop from 1856 to 1887. She died in 1898.
