F.A. Benham House

The F.A. Benham House, also known as the Stoner House and the Barquist House, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Built in 1884, the two-story structure features wood frame construction, a brick foundation, and decorative details that were influenced by the Stick Style of architecture. Its significance is found in its late Victorian design that is exemplified in the Eastlake style.[2] It is found in its massing, the steeply pitched roof, and the spindlework of the front porch. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1] The house shares the historic designation with the frame barn (c. 1900) and the Victorian cast iron fence and gate that runs in front of the house.
