Francis A. and Rose M. Turner House

The Francis A. and Rose M. Turner House, located in Avoca, Iowa, is a historic Neoclassical building constructed in 1905. This two-story frame house is significant not only for its architectural style but also for its connection to prominent local figures, including Francis A. Turner, a lawyer and educator, and his family, who played vital roles in the community. Their son Joe served as mayor for 16 years, and their grandson Richard became Iowa's Attorney General. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, making it a noteworthy site for tourists and researchers interested in local history and architecture.
