Peter and Isabelle McCulloch McQuie Milkhouse

The Peter and Isabelle McCulloch McQuie Milkhouse is a historic structure located on a picturesque farm near Earlham, Iowa. Built by Scottish immigrants in the late 19th century, this early example of vernacular limestone architecture showcases the agricultural heritage of the region. The building features a unique design with a milkhouse occupying two-thirds of the space, while the remaining section may have served as accommodations for a hired worker. Recognized for its historical significance, the milkhouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, making it a noteworthy site for tourists and researchers interested in Iowa's farming history.
