The Cavanaugh-Zetek House (also known as the Cavanuagh House) is a historic house located at 704 Reno Street in Iowa City, Iowa.

Description and history

Ohio native James Cavanaugh (Cavanagh) was the first owner of the house. He was a farmer who was involved in local politics. His widow Amy died in 1902, and the house was sold to Joseph Zetek. It remained in his family until 1976. This is one of two brick Gothic Revival houses in the city. ^[2] The 1¼-story, L-shaped structure with a single-story addition on the north side features pointed-arch doorways and tracery windows on the south and west elevations. There is a glass enclosed porch in the middle of the "L".

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 16, 1977. ^[1]
