Hannah Morse Fowler Hall was a wealthy woman from Wallingford, Connecticut whose first husband was an attorney. With Abram Hall, her second husband, she moved to the Iowa Territory in 1845 and acquired this property in Cass Township, Cedar County, Iowa in 1848. She used her own money to buy the property and the title was in her name, not her husband's. [2] The original house on the property was completed later that year. It remained on the property until sometime between 1968 and 1970. Edward Rate, who owned the property after the Halls, operated a glove manufacturing plant on the property.
