George C. Stockman House
530 First Street NE
Mason City, Iowa 50401-3534
641/421-3666

Moved in 1989 from original location at 311 First Street SE

Frank Lloyd Wright, 1908

One of the first built examples based on Wright’s “A Fireproof House for $5,000,” illustrated in the April 1906 issue of Ladies Home Journal.

After its move by the City of Mason City, the house was sold to and restored by The River City Society for Historic Preservation under the direction of Mason City architects Bergland + Cram. No longer oriented as it once was, the house was rotated so that its former north elevation now faces west.
