Alexander Clark House, Historic residence in Muscatine, United States.
The Alexander Clark House displays Italianate architectural elements with a symmetrical facade, decorative cornices, and tall windows arranged across two stories.
Built in 1879 after a fire destroyed the previous structure, this residence belonged to Alexander Clark, an African American civil rights pioneer and US Minister to Liberia.
The house represents a crucial chapter in civil rights history, as its owner successfully fought for school integration through the Iowa Supreme Court in 1868.
Located at 203 West 3rd Street, the property now functions as a historical site and received National Register of Historic Places designation in 1976.
The building was physically relocated 200 feet from its original position in 1975, maintaining its architectural integrity during the careful moving process.
