Primary Contributing
The Kloepping House is a Craftsman Bungalow with three frontfacing gables: the main roof, the front porch, and a small gable roof over a front-facing oriel window. In addition, there is a side-facing gable on the west. The house has false bevelled drop siding below the belt course and stucco with half-timbered detailing above the belt in each of the gables.
The front steps originally extended across the full width of the recessed, single-bay porch but have been modified to about half that width. Interior changes have been made since 1975, and a modern addition was added to the back of the house in 1984-85.

The Kloepping family purchased the property on which this house stands in 1908, and H. H. Kloepping built the house at a cost of $3000 in 1909 (Oregon Statesman, Jan. 1, 1910, section 4). The City Directory for 1909-10 lists Johanna Kloepping (the widow of Fred Kloepping) and H. H. Kloepping, a student, residing here. Henry Kloepping later became a Deputy Clerk with the Oregon Supreme Court, and he and his wife, Laura, lived in the house for many years. It remained in the Kloepping family until 1963. Since 1975, the house has been owned and occupied by Robert Moore, Salem city manager in the 1970's.
