The history of Jansen and the work he did in Dubuque remains unknown. It may be that he was involved with the construction of the first brick schools in the city.

What evidence we have of this man is a picture of him with his wife and several pictures of his secluded home along present day Roosevelt Street.

[[Image:jansen6.jpeg|left|thumb|350px|Photo courtesy: Russel Neuwoehner]]The house appears to have been constructed of odd-shaped stones possibly cast-offs from a quarry. Its massive walls are actually two walls with a gap between which helped keep the interior warm in the winter and cooler in the summer.

The resulting space was too hot for any use, and the Neuwoehners removed the enclosure. In 2018 the Neuwoehners planned to repair the exterior woodwork of the home.
