Hogan and Martha A. Runkle Queen House

The Hogan and Martha A. Runkle Queen House, located southeast of Earlham, Iowa, is a historic residence that dates back to the mid-19th century. Established by Hogan Queen, who settled in Madison County in 1853, the house is notable for its role as a stagecoach stop and its suspected connection to the Underground Railroad. This early example of a vernacular limestone farmhouse features distinctive architectural elements such as ashlar finished stone and a gable roof. Recognized for its historical significance, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, making it an intriguing site for tourists and researchers interested in Iowa's history and architecture.
