Rock Crest–Rock Glen Historic District
Rock Crest–Rock Glen Historic District, Prairie School architectural district in Mason City, United States
Rock Crest-Rock Glen features ten residential buildings designed in Prairie School style along the natural landscape of Willow Creek in Mason City.
Developer Joshua Melson acquired the property between 1902 and 1908, initiating a planned development that would become the largest Prairie School collection in America.
Multiple architects including Walter Burley Griffin, Barry Byrne, and Marion Mahony Griffin contributed distinct designs that influenced American architectural development.
Tours through the district start at 17 South Federal Avenue in Mason City, with advance reservations required through Lakes & Land office.
The foundations of an 1870 mill remain within the district, originally intended for a hydroelectric station that never materialized.
