The J.H. Riekenberg House is a historic residence located in Boone, Iowa, United States. Born in Schleswig, Germany, Riekenberg emigrated to the United States in 1867, and became a successful businessman and civic leader in Boone. He had Charles E.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.^[1]
