The Dr. George A. Jenkins House is a historic house located at 223 South C Street in Albia, Iowa.

Description and history

Built in 1926, it is the largest

dormers. It has an unusual exterior cladding of concrete with river gravel cobblestone set in the wet concrete during construction. The hen's egg sized stones are more than likely from the Des Moines River near Eddyville, Iowa, as they are consistent with other rocks available from that location.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 5, 1987.[1]
