Arthur Rule House
11 Rock Glen
Mason City, Iowa 50401-3936

Walter Burley Griffin, 1913

This house and the Page House were the first two Prairie School residences constructed in Rock Glen. James Blythe lived in this house while his residence was under construction, then sold it to his law partner, Arthur Rule. For this reason it is sometimes referred to as the Blythe-Rule House.
