Description

Photograph of Queen Anne style house at 1127 Park Street, built by Henry G. and Mary Fidelia Little in 1880. At the time of the 1900 City Directory, Carrie Rand and her mother, Mrs. E. D. Rand, lived in the house. The Little house was used as a hospital by Dr. P. E. Somers between 1901-1914. It was sold to Iowa College and used as a college club house during the 1920s. At some point after the Little's built it, the house was renovated to remove the expansive front porch and widow's walk. The house in the background is at 1131 Park Street.
