Daniel F. Akin House, Historic limestone house in Farmington, US.
The Daniel F. Akin House features a two-story structure with a hipped roof and cupola, constructed from locally quarried limestone at 19185 Akin Road.
Daniel Akin, born in New York state in 1828, constructed this residence between 1856 and 1860 after moving from Virginia to Minnesota.
The house represents the Italianate architectural design principles popularized in mid-19th century American residential construction through Andrew Jackson Downing's influence.
The property maintains continuous weather observation records since 1885, contributing valuable meteorological data to the National Weather Bureau's research.
Jerome Akin, the grandson of the original owner, documented extreme weather events including the 1940 Armistice Day Blizzard from this location.
