Alexander Clark House
Alexander Clark House, Historic residence in Muscatine, United States.
The Alexander Clark House is a two-story residential building in Italianate style featuring a symmetrical facade with proportioned windows and decorative moldings. The structure displays typical ornamental details of the period throughout its exterior design.
The house was built in 1879 following a destructive fire that removed the earlier structure and connects to a pivotal court case about school integration. The legal battle from 1868 established the foundation for this property's historical importance.
The home belonged to a man who pushed for school integration and shaped local communities through his efforts. His story remains connected to broader conversations about equality that continue to draw visitors today.
The building sits on West 3rd Street and functions as a historical site listed in the National Register since 1976. Visitors should note that this house demonstrates important techniques in restoration and preservation work.
The house was moved 200 feet (60 meters) from its original site in 1975 to save it from demolition. This elaborate relocation proved the structure was significant enough to justify a complete transfer.
