Joseph A. and Lydia A. Edwards House

The Joseph A. and Lydia A. Edwards House, located east of Salem, Iowa, is a historic two-story stone building that showcases the architectural style of the settlement period in Henry County. Built in 1866 to replace an earlier residence, this Italianate style home features a symmetrical facade, flat stone lintels, and a distinctive hip roof. The stone used for its construction was likely sourced from the Edwards' own farm. Recognized for its historical significance, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015, making it an interesting site for tourists and researchers alike.
