The Milton Godard House is a historic building located southwest of Maquoketa, Iowa, United States. This house is considered an excellent example of limestone craftsmanship and design. It is one of over 217 limestone structures in Jackson County from the mid-19th century, of which 101 are houses. Very few are in this part of the county, and most are vernacular construction. The Godard house has elements on the Gothic Revival style, especially in the fenestrations. It is also unusual in that it is two different houses built at two different times. Local tradition says that five stonemasons from Germany were brought here to work on the house, and they stayed here for eight years until it was completed. Godard was a Connecticut native who settled here in 1845. His closest neighbors to the south and west at that time were 15 miles (24 km) away. He donated land to the east of his house in the 1880s for a Methodist church. The church was razed in 1926, but the cemetery remains. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
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. 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. 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.
The Theodore Niemann House and Spring House are historic buildings located northwest of Bellevue, Iowa, United States. They are two of over 217 limestone structures in Jackson County from the mid-19th century, of which 101 are houses. The residence is similar to most of the other houses in that it is a two-story structure that follows a rectangular plan, has dressed stone sills and lintels, and is capped with a gable roof. It differs from most of the others in that it is four bays wide rather than three or five, and it was stuccoed. It may have been influenced by the Luxembourgian houses in Tete Des Morts Township to the north. They have an even number of bays and are stuccoed. The small, single-story, spring house to the southeast appears to be from the same time period as the residence. It is square and capped with a hip roof. Built in 1845, the Niemann house is believed to be the oldest stone house in the county. The buildings were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
The Robb House and Spring House are historic buildings located west of Bellevue, Iowa, United States. They are two of over 217 limestone structures in Jackson County from the mid-19th century, of which 101 are houses. The residence is similar to most of the other houses in that it is a two-story structure that follows a rectangular plan, a symmetrical three bay facade, and is capped with a gable roof. It differs from most of the others in that it has heavy timbers for the lintels rather than stone, and it was stuccoed. The stucco may have been influenced by the Luxembourgian houses in the region. The small, single-story, spring house appears to be from the same time period as the residence. It is square and capped with a hip roof. They are believed to have been designed for John Robb by Elbridge G. Potter, who settled along the Big Mill Creek in 1842, an area he called "Paradise Valley." The buildings were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
Big Mill Homestead is a historic residence located west 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. This is one of 12 houses with a hip roof. It was built around 1850 into the side of a hill, so the south elevation has three floors and the north elevation has two. The cube-shaped structure features cut coursed stone with blocks of various sizes and shapes, and limestone sills and lintels. There is no indication that this house was ever stuccoed, as several in the vicinity were. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
The Building at 101 North Riverview Street is a historic commercial building located in Bellevue, Iowa, United States. It is one of over 217 limestone structures in Jackson County from the mid-19th century, of which 20 are commercial buildings. The two-floor structure was built around 1850 along the levee. Because the property slopes toward the Mississippi River, it appears to be a four-story building on the riverside. It was built to house a retail establishment, but its original use has not been determined. By 1885 it housed a dry goods store, and by 1894 it housed a hardware store and implement dealership, which was located here for decades. The rectangular plan structure is three bays wide, and it has a stone storefront. It was given a light coating of stucco and scored giving it an ashlar appearance. The second-floor windows have simple hoodmolds above them, while the rest of the windows have stone lintels. What differentiates this building from the others is that it is a freestanding commercial structure, capped with a hip roof. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
The Building at 306 South Second Street is a historic industrial building located in Bellevue, Iowa, United States. It is one of over 217 limestone structures in Jackson County from the mid-19th century, of which 20 are commercial/industrial buildings. The two-story structure was built in 1859 as an industrial facility. It is believed it was initially used as a pork processing plant that produced salt pork, which was then shipped down the Mississippi River. Subsequently, it has housed Haney & Campbell Creamery and Dairy Supplies, a saloon, a pool hall, and by 1928, a residence. The stone blocks that were used in the construction of this square structure vary somewhat in shape and size, and they were laid in courses. The window sills, lintels and watertable are dressed stone. Its two main elevations on Second and Chestnut streets are symmetrical, with three bays. Both have a door in the central bay. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
Paradise Farm are historic agricultural and domestic buildings located west of Bellevue, Iowa, United States. Massachusetts native Elbridge Gerry Potter settled near Big Mill Creek in 1842 from Illinois. He arrived here with 500 head of cattle, 40 teams of mules, and money. In addition to this farm he operated a flour mill and sawmill in Bellevue, and established steamboat lines on the Mississippi River at Bellevue, on the Yazoo River in Louisiana and the Red River in Texas.
Mill Rock School is a historic one-room schoolhouse located south of Baldwin, Iowa, United States. It is one of over 217 limestone structures in Jackson County from the mid-19th century, of which 12 are school buildings. This school building was built in 1869 by Abner Hunt and P.A. Downer. The stone blocks that were used in the construction of this rectangular structure vary somewhat in shape and size, and they were laid in courses. The window sills and lintels are dressed stone. There is a brick chimney on the west elevation, and two entrance doors on the east elevation. Having two entrance doors is unusual for rural Jackson County schools. A name and date stone is located in the east gable.
The Nicholas Schoenenberger House and Barn is a historic residence located south of Winterset, Iowa, United States. Nicholas and Louisa (Tinnis) Schoenenberger were both natives of what is now Germany and acquired the title to this farm in 1856. He worked the land until the late nineteenth century, and died here in 1902. Since his death the house has been vacant for long periods of time. This house is an early example of a vernacular limestone farmhouse. The two-story gable structure is composed of locally quarried finished cut stone on the public facades, the quoins, and the jambs. Rubble stone is used on the other elevations. It also features dressed lintels and window sills. Because it is located on a south facing hillside, the house has a split-level appearance. Because it shares characteristics with other stone houses built in Madison County by local stonemason Caleb Clark, he may have been responsible for its construction. The lower level of the English-style barn is composed of coursed limestone rubble, and the upper level is composed of board-and-batten siding. It is located in a German-style hill setting. The house and barn were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
