The Bennedsen, Boldt, and Hansen Building, also known as the General Store Museum, is a historic building in Kimballton, Iowa, United States. Its significance is derived from its association with Danish immigrant craftsmen utilizing local produced materials by other Danish immigrants. The single-story brick structure was the work of Niels Bennedsen, Hans P. Boldt (carpenter), and Hans P. Hansen (carpenter). Each owned a ⅓ interest in the property. Although all three were involved in the construction trade it is only known that Bennedsen worked on the building. It is possible that Hansen did the carpentry work and Boldt, who also owned the local lumber yard, supplied the lumber and woodwork.
The Jens T. Larsen House is a historic building located in Kimballton, Iowa, United States. Its significance is derived from its association with the Danish immigrant settlement of the community, and the skilled Danish craftsman who lived and worked there. It is believed the house is the work of Anders Jensen, who may have had the assistance of his brother Thorvald. They were natives of Fyn, Denmark who immigrated with the rest of their family to Wisconsin in the 1870s before settling in Audubon County. Built in 1894, the 1½-story frame structure features a T-plan, wall dormers, and a small square tower. The original front porch has subsequently been replaced by an enclosed porch. The house was built for Jens Larsen, also a Danish immigrant. He arrived in 1874 and was engaged in farming. The southern half of Kimballton was his land. This was his retirement home, and he lived here until he died, as did his wife Elena who died in 1928. The house was acquired by their nephew Thomas Christensen, who owned it until 1962. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
The Hans M. Koch House, also known as the Brickyard Residence, is a historic building located in the extreme southern portion of Kimballton, Iowa, United States. Its significance is derived from its association with the Danish immigrant settlement of the area, and the skilled Danish craftsman who lived and worked here. The house was the work of its owner, Hans Koch, who was also the manager of the Crystals Springs brickyard nearby. He was a native of Slesvig, Denmark and immigrated to the United States twice. He first settled in Michigan in 1893 before returning to Denmark four years later. He immigrated a second time in 1908 settling in Kimballton. He worked as a brickmaker everywhere he lived. Built in 1908, the 1½-story brick structure is a gabled double-pile house type, which was common in the Danish settlement area of Shelby and Audubon counties in the early 20th century. It may also be an example of a Danish house form. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
