About This Book
A photographic and narrative survey of 101 historic houses in Fort Dodge, Iowa, each entry pairs a photograph with researched histories of construction, architectural features, successive occupants, and notable alterations. The text chronicles builders, owners' civic and philanthropic activities, technical details such as materials and original utilities, and intimate anecdotes drawn from local records and interviews. Entries emphasize how the houses reflect community change across more than a century, and the volume includes a map and index to aid locating and comparing properties.
