The Henry Roling House is a historic building located northwest of Bellevue, Iowa, United States. It is one of over 217 limestone structures in Jackson County from the mid-19th century, of which 101 are houses. It is similar to most of the other houses in that it is a two-story structure that follows a rectangular plan, has cut stones laid in courses, dressed stone sills and lintel, and is capped with a gable roof. This house differs from most of the others in that it is four bays wide rather than three or five. [2] The Theodore Niemann House a mile west of this one is the oldest of the stone houses in the county, and the Roling house, built shortly after it, is very similar to it.[ how? ] They are similar to the Luxembourgian houses in the region in having an even number of bays, although the Roling house was not stuccoed. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. [1]

Thomas Slye House United States historic place

The Thomas Slye House is a historic residence located north of Andrew, Iowa, United States. It is one of over 217 limestone structures in Jackson County from the mid-19th century, of which 101 are houses. The Slye house features a five bay symmetrical facade capped by a gable roof. Slye, a native of England, quarried the stones for the house himself and had a stonemason construct the house. The stones are of various sizes and shapes and laid in courses. The double end chimneys are found on only two other stone houses in the county, and the Slye and DeFries houses have them constructed in brick. Also similar to the DeFries House is the use of jack arches instead on lintels above the windows and doors. It is possible that both houses were constructed by the same stonemason. A single-story frame addition with an attached two-car garage was built onto the back of the houses at a later date. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

Henry Lubben House, Smokehouse and Springhouse United States historic place

The Henry Lubben House, Smokehouse and Springhouse are a collection of historic buildings located north of Baldwin, Iowa, United States. They are three of over 217 limestone structures in Jackson County from the mid-19th century, of which 101 were houses, 13 were springhouses, and 36 were other farm related buildings. What makes the Lubben buildings unique is that the three stone buildings are grouped together on the farmstead. The wood frame farm buildings are located immediately to the north. The stonework on the house is coursed-cut stone that is believed to have been quarried just west of the house. The windows have dressed stone sills and lintels. It also features "high style" elements such as the denticulated wooden cornice. The house is L-shaped with a single story stone section on the back, which is original to the house, capped by a wood frame second floor that was added later. An enclosed wooden porch on the front was added in 1931. The quality of the stonework on the springhouse and the smokehouse are of a lesser quality.
