Corey House
1238 6th Avenue North
Fort Dodge, Iowa 50501

Liebbe, Nourse & Rasmussen?, 1914

Like the Butler House, another work inspired by Wright’s Winslow House, the residences of George Maher and Foursquare vernacular. Wrightian planters flank an Italianate entrance terrace.

Compare with the very similar house in Odebolt, which suggests that the Corey House is the work of Liebbe, Nourse & Rasmussen.
