Шаблон:Short description

Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Horn House is a historic residence located northwest of Decorah, Iowa, United States. The significance of this house is the unique architectural combination of the Italianate and Georgian styles found in Iowa.[1] The latter style is found in the symmetrical composition of the attached service wing. The two-story brick main block features a low-hipped roof, wide eaves and a plain wood cornice.

The house was built by Henry Harcourt Horn, a native of Hertfordshire who was part of the English Colony in the Decorah area. The colony was established in the early 1860s, principally by well-to-do Englishmen who tried to become gentleman farmers. Most of them, including Horn, failed. Horn moved into Decorah and tried his hand in a variety of businesses. He had to file for bankruptcy and lost his house in a sheriff's sale. He relocated to St. Paul, Minnesota where he took up a law career.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[2]
