Farm House Item Info
- Title:
- Farm House
- Description:
- The first building started on the new college land was the Farm House. Plans for it and the barn, prepared by Milen Burt, architect and builder of Muscatine, had been approved in 1859. The house was completed in 1865. The Farm House, or the Knapp-Wilson House, was designated in 1965 as a Registered National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior. After Dean Andre moved out in 1970, the University administration determined that the house would no longer be a residence, classroom, or office. The house was preserved and restored as close to its appearance as it was when occupied by Dean Curtiss from 1900-1910. Credit: The Iowa State University Campus and Its Buildings
