Hurstville Historic District
Hurstville Historic District, Historic industrial settlement north of Maquoketa, Iowa, United States.
The Hurstville Historic District contains four preserved limestone kilns and a warehouse, remnants of a once-active lime manufacturing complex.
Alfred Hurst established the first kiln in 1871, expanding the operation to encompass 3,000 acres and employing 50 workers for lime production.
The district represents the evolution of Midwest construction materials, transitioning from lime-based mortar to Portland cement in the early 1900s.
The Jackson County Conservation Board maintains an interpretive center near the kilns, offering visitors information about the industrial heritage.
The limestone transportation system included a narrow-gauge railway and a bridge over the North Fork of the Maquoketa River for material delivery.
