Gen. Samuel R. Curtis House
Gen. Samuel R. Curtis House, Greek Revival house in Keokuk, United States.
The Gen. Samuel R. Curtis House is a two-story limestone structure featuring a broad front porch supported by Ionic columns. The building rests on an L-shaped foundation and includes a basement level at the rear.
Built in 1849, the house served as the residence of Samuel R. Curtis, who held the rank of Union Major General during the Civil War. His military service included commanding troops in significant engagements of the conflict.
The residence displays the architectural taste that prosperous families favored during the mid-1800s, with its classical Greek form and refined interior details. These elements remain visible to visitors walking through the rooms today.
The site offers straightforward access to the building with ample room to explore the porch and exterior structure. Visitors can view the property year-round since the outside features remain visible regardless of the season.
After Curtis died in 1866, a separate two-story carriage house was constructed on the grounds, complementing the original design. This outbuilding represents a rare example of the complete arrangement of a prosperous 1800s residence.
