Mathias Ham House, Greek Revival residence in Dubuque, United States.
The Mathias Ham House features multiple levels with original woodwork, detailed craftsmanship, and grand architectural elements typical of 1850s construction methods.
John F. Rague designed this residence in 1856 for Mathias Ham, a local businessman who contributed to the development of Dubuque during its early settlement period.
The property includes an original log cabin, a restored one-room schoolhouse, and a replica lead mine that demonstrate different aspects of Iowa frontier life.
The Dubuque County Historical Society maintains regular guided tours through the house, gardens, and educational exhibits throughout the year for visitors.
The site contains the oldest surviving log cabin in Iowa, along with a preserved granary and a reconstructed miner's dwelling from the Mississippi River settlement era.
