Nicking House

Summary

The Nicking House is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. Henry C. Nicking, who was a barber, had this house built in 1854. It is one of the oldest houses in the city, and one of a very few that was constructed using sandstone.[2] The general architectural style is a stripped-down version of the Greek Revival style, but a rear addition gives it a saltbox appearance. It features a symmetrical facade, side gable roof, limestone lintels and window sills, and cornice returns on the front. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
