History
Samuel Nichols moved his family from Ohio to Iowa in the late 1830s. He built a log structure on this property that served as the family home, a post office, and occasionally as a store that catered to people who traveled between
Architecture
The Nichols House is a typical 19th-century vernacular-style farm house with a single story wing on the back. The two-story, rectangular, brick structure is five bays wide with the main entrance in the center bay. The front porch is not the original.[2] Chimneys are set at each end of the gable roof. The deck in the center of the roof is original to the house, but the railings are replacements.
