| Built for Wallace Francis and his wife Lydia, this elegant and stately home took 2 years to build and was completed in 1891. In a May 1895 newspaper article it was described as "one of the finest and most modern residences in northeast Iowa." |
| |
| This 12-room, 3-story (plus full basement) residence features beautiful Tiffany stained glass and prism cut windows; five fireplaces, each with a different tile motif, and elegantly carved mantle pieces; original woodwork and interior shutters; four heavy pocket doors separating the first floor rooms; and inlaid wood floors. The first floor comprises a large front entry hall, 3 living rooms, dining room, back hall with a maid's staircase to the second floor, bathroom, kitchen and back pantry. Five bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a laundry room are on the second floor. The unheated third floor has been finished into one large room, plus a cedar closet. |
| |
| The property also includes a small, two-story barn currently used as a garage. |
