Description and history

Wilbur Cannon is a member of one of the early families who settled Johnson County. He had this two-story, brick Italianate house built in 1884 in an area west of the Iowa River known as West Lucas. It was home to farmsteads and country estates that were located within a mile or two of the downtown area. As the city expanded, it absorbed these estates and the houses, such as this one, became city residences. The house follows an asymmetrical plan and includes typical Italianate features such as its window and door treatments, the heavy cornice, and the double brackets under the eaves.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 7, 1994.[1]

gollark: I'm pretty sure there's *tons* of other random surveillance laws, and the NSA seems to just blatantly ignore the law.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: The government here *is* apparently happy to pass stuff like the investigatory powers bill.
gollark: That doesn't seem to be a particularly universal view there, given the popularity of gun control stuff and the fact that as far as I know quite a lot of places still have knife restrictions.
gollark: Doesn't that also describe the US to quite a significant degree?
