Description and history

Peter and Sarah Collins were New York natives who bought this property from William Lewelling in 1842. He built the two-story, Greek Revival style brick house the following year. Salem was a Quaker community and many of its residents were involved in the Underground Railroad.

[2] Eli and Mary Bond acquired the house in 1851 after the Collins' relocated elsewhere in Iowa. Their son Titus was married to Peter and Sarah's daughter Amelia. The house remained in the Bond family into the 1940s.

The Peter and Mary Smith House, also known as the Hopkins House and the Otto House, is a historic dwelling located in Lake City, Iowa, United States. Peter Smith was a pioneer to this town and a prominent businessman. He was involved in retail, banking, and real estate. Smith and his first wife Sarah settled in Calhoun County, Iowa from Cass County, Michigan around 1855, and bought land near the present Smith Farmhouse. He served as the first judge in the county when Lake City was the county seat. Sarah died in 1875 while they were living in Glidden, Iowa. After the arrival of the railroad in 1881, Peter and his second wife Mary moved to Lake City. They built this two-story, brick, L-shaped house in 1887. While it does not conform to any one style, it is primarily a combination of the Italianate and the Gothic Revival styles. The Italianate influence is found in the bracketed cornice, segmentally arched lintels, wooden cutout designs over the windows, a front bay window, and the hipped roof. The influences of the Gothic Revival style are found in the bargeboard and the roof line. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

This was the second house built on the property, and it was unusual for a "second generation" farm house in Central Iowa to be built of stone around the time of the Civil War. The Earlys were Presbyterians and held services in the house until a church was built. John Early was an ardent Republican and abolitionist who was active in the Underground Railroad. While "it is said, had as many as five runaway slaves on his place at one time", there is no evidence this house itself was a stop. The Earlys lived here until their deaths in 1872 (Elizabeth) and 1873 (John). The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
