Eastwood Cottage Item Info
- Title:
- Eastwood Cottage
- Description:
- Built in 1878 located just northeast of the cemetery on open land. A one-acre farm site was allocated in November 1877 to L.L. Eastwood for a farm workman's house, which he would lease from the college. In the spring of 1879, he was furnished wire and posts to enclose the acre of land. At the end of that year, Eastwood was granted permission to remove his house from the college grounds, but he decided against that action because he offered to sell it to the college two years later. The sale was executed in the spring of 1882. Removal of the house was considered later, but in 1888, it was being used by the Experiment Station. No subsequent references to the home have been found. The house appears on an 1883 map but is not shown on an 1896 map. It was apparently razed or removed sometime between 1888 and 1896. Credit: The Iowa State University Campus and Its Buildings
