Henry Wallace House, Victorian residence in Des Moines, United States.
The Henry Wallace House displays Victorian-Italianate design with a wraparound porch, stacked bay windows, and ornamental iron work on the roof and entries.
Henry Wallace, who lived in this house from 1892, founded Wallace's Farmer publication and contributed to establishing Iowa State College as an agricultural research center.
The residence represents the connection between agricultural journalism and educational development in Iowa through the Wallace family's influential publications and institutional work.
