The G. W. S. Allen House is a historic house located at 207 East Henry Street in Mount Pleasant, Iowa.
Description and history
It was constructed according to mail order plans provided by George F. Barber & Co. of Knoxville, Tennessee. The final design is a combination of two designs offered in Barber's 1899 catalog and modifications by the Allens and their builder. It was one of several Barber-designed houses in Mount Pleasant.[2] The 2½-story Queen Anne has an irregular plan, frame construction, a full basement, hip roof with lower cross gables, and circular tower with a conical roof. Because the house is from the later stage of the Queen Anne style it features decorative elements from the Neoclassical and the Neocolonial styles instead of Eastlake detailing.[2] The house was built by George S.W. Allen, a Vermont native, who operated his own clothing store.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 11, 1985.[1]
