| This beautiful, spacious Victorian home, circa 1882 is built on the"Fifth Street Bluff Historic District" The Bluffs (located 3 blocks from the Des Moines river) are a major landscape feature and played an important role in Ottumwa's development. The "Fifth Street Bluff Historic District" represents a prestigious residential neighborhood of well groomed yards and brick laid streets that was established in 1843, and listed in the "National Register of Historic Places". Three generations of the Dagget Family (prominent members of the community) owned and lived in the home from approximately 1888 to 1993. At one time one of the family members wrote the society column for the local newspaper and had many garden parties here. The list of property owners in the neighborhood reads like a who's who in Ottumwa history. |
