Merchant and German immigrant Karl Vogt, the brother of future village president Henry Vogt, built the building in 1872. While Vogt expected the building would house workers on a planned Rock Island Railroad junction in Tinley Park, the junction was canceled after the Great Chicago Fire, and the building's construction costs bankrupted Vogt.
The building has an Italianate design, a popular choice in the mid-to-late nineteenth century; it is the only example of the style in Tinley Park. Its design includes a two-story porch with balustrades on each floor, tall windows with limestone lintels and keystones, and a cornice with ornamental brackets and moldings.[2]
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 21, 1988.[1]
In December 2023, after completely renovating the house, Banging Gavel Brews opened a brewery and restaurant in the building.[3][4][5]
A historical marker (calling it the Carl Vogt Building) can be found near the building.[6]
