The Hitchcock House
Lewis, Iowa


Rev. George B. Hitchcock’s house is built in the Federal Style with locally sourced sandstone, limestone, walnut and oak. It was completed in 1856. Hitchcock was known to be a “conductor” on the Underground Railroad, and this house was known to be a “station.” It was a welcome resting place for freedom seekers and abolitionists who traveled through the state.
