- Title:
- Pope Cottage
- Description:
- Professor of Chemistry Thomas E. Pope built Pope Cottage on the south side of what is now Lincoln Way in 1877. When he was called to M.I.T., he offered the property to the College, and the purchase was agreed to in 1884. Professor Wynn had rented it from Professor Pope before the purchase was made and remained there through 1855. The frame house was typical of the residential design of its period, with two stories and a basement. Inside, plumbing and electricity were installed in 1902. The porch on the southeast corner was added in 1924. Credit: The Iowa State University Campus and Its Buildings
