 THE FESSLER HOME

The Fessler home

1110 5th Avenue North

One of the city’s most historic houses is this brick residence at 1110
5th Ave. N. built by pioneer storekeeper and Indian fur trader David
Fessler.
The original portion of the two-story home dates back to 1869 when
it was erected by Fessler in the northeast part of the town in order
to make it easier to conduct his fur trading business with the Indians
who camped in the nearby north woods.

Fessler came to Fort Dodge from Germany in 1858 and shortly after
arrival opened a trading center and clothing store. He started his fur
trading business in his first small home located where the Blanden
Art Gallery now stands. It was a considerable distance from this
place to the Indian camp so Fessler purchased property in the
northeast part of the growing town and built a new home there.

The rear of the present home is the original part of the house built
more than 100 years ago. The old time brick is still in good condition
as are the basement walls made of stone. In pioneer days there
were gunslots in the foundation walls for use in event of Indian
attacks.

The house now has four rooms and bath on the first floor and four
rooms and bath on the second floor. The property has changed
hands many times in past years and is now owned and occupied by
George Bradshaw, Fort Dodge attorney, and daughter, Vivian.

Fessler’s home on Fifth Avenue North was reported one of the

largest and most elaborate of the pioneer dwellings and included a
20x24 parlor. Adjoining was the flower room with a white gypsum
floor and at the rear was the large kitchen. The kitchen was used
primarily as a trading place with the Indians when they came out of
the nearby woods to sell their furs. They were in groups and always
remained at the house for a meal.

Fessler is also remembered for buildings he erected along 15

Central Avenue one of which housed the Fessler Opera House,
a popular pioneer entertainment center. Fessler had four sons and
three daughters. One of the sons, Louis, was county recorder here
for many years.
Mrs. Marion Gilday of Fort Dodge is a granddaughter of the elder
David Fessler. Her father was Louis Fessler.
 THE LEON VINCENT HOME

The Leon Vincent home

1024 3rd Avenue South

The large brick residence at 1024 3rd Ave. S.—known in earlier years
as the Leon Vincent home—was built by a pioneer Iowan who was a
civil engineer, railroad builder and gypsum industrialist. The house
dates back to 1896 when it was erected and occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. Leon Vincent.
The house, of exterior brick construction, now has three rooms and
bath on the first floor, four rooms and two baths on the second floor,
two bedrooms on the completely finished third floor and a large
finished basement area.

Ownership of the house has changed several times since it was built
by Vincent. At one time it was owned and occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Vincent and later by Mr. and Mrs. Shirley Thornton. In 1965
the Thorntons sold the property to Mr. and Mrs. Paul C. Eide who
now, with their family occupy the home.

Leon Vincent, a first cousin of Webb and Beth Vincent, came to Iowa
in 1867 and as a civil engineer worked in laying out the Sioux City
and Pacific Railroad, now part of the North Western system. He
continued in this work until 1873 when he came to Fort Dodge.

In 1881 Vincent was employed as assistant cashier of the Merchants

National Bank until its merger with the early-day First National Bank
here. He was secretary-treasurer of the Iowa Plaster Association in
1891 and was identified with gypsum operations here for many
years. In 1899 he rebuilt and re-equipped the Central Gypsum 16
mill, first of the early-day gypsum plants here. When the U. S.
Gypsum Company took over the Iowa Plaster Association in 1902,
Vincent remained as manager of the Blanden mill.

Vincent was active in many affairs, one of which was designing and
building of the present St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, which replaced
an earlier edifice destroyed by fire. He also helped in laying out and
beautifying of Oleson Park and in designing of 17th Street as a
boulevard.

In 1911, Leon Vincent and the brothers Harry S. and Donald Vincent,
sons of Webb Vincent, founded the Vincent Clay Products, Inc.,
which operated its big plant at Shady Oaks until recent years. Many
of the plant’s machines and processes were inventions of Leon
Vincent.
In failing health for many years, Leon Vincent died in 1916 at age
69. Mrs. Vincent died in 1928 at age 81. Mr. and Mrs. Vincent were
grandparents of Al Loomis, photographer for most of the houses
shown in the book.
 THE JOHN HAIRE HOME

The John Haire home

502 North Ninth Street

One of Fort Dodge’s earliest businessmen—John Haire—purchased

property along north Ninth Street and built the home at 502 N. 9th
St. nearly 100 years ago. Haire acquired the property along the west
side of Ninth Street from Fourth to Eighth Avenues North in 1878
and platted it as Haire’s Seminary Square Addition to Fort Dodge.

Shortly after purchasing the property, Haire built the north Ninth
Street residence. He and his family resided there during his lifetime;
then the property passed on to his heirs. In 1941 the home was
purchased by the late Verne Schram and his wife Thora.
The Schrams remodeled the home extensively and added a small
apartment and garage at the rear of the house. Earlier, in 1914,
Haire’s son Jack, had remodeled the house for apartments. Presently
there are four apartments, three on the first floor and one on the
second floor.

John Haire came to Fort Dodge from his native Ireland in 1855 and
entered into the mercantile business. His store was reported to be
the third one opened in the newly-founded town and was located at
First Avenue South and Sixth Street.

In 1879 Haire was elected Webster County auditor and held 17

that office until 1885. He also served as county clerk of courts
and was a member of the Fort Dodge School board and its vice
president for 10 years. He retired from active business life here in
1870, some years before being elected to county offices.

Haire and his wife were parents of 10 children, seven sons and three
daughters. The sons were prominent in business affairs of the city
for many years. They were M. J. Haire, Oleson Land Company; W.
W. Haire, Sackett & Haire Drugs; Jack Haire, Fort Dodge Lumber
Company; Dave Haire, who served as county clerk; Tom Haire, Haire
Clothing Store; Edward and Fred who were associated with Sackett
& Haire Drugs. The daughters were Anna, Josephine and Mrs.
Margaret Haire Kinney.

Two grandsons of the pioneer businessman are Fort Dodge residents

—George M. Haire and John Haire, sons of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jack
Haire.
 THE DR. EVANS HOME

The Dr. Evans home

530 S. Twelfth Street

The brick home located at 530 S. 12th St. was built in 1913 by Dr.
Robert Evans, for many years a prominent physician and surgeon in
Fort Dodge. The two-story house has three rooms on the first floor,
three rooms on the second floor and an attic area with two rooms.

The house is situated in part of the Fair Oaks addition to the city
that once was also the location of the Duncombe deer park and the
attractive gypsum block residence of John F. Duncombe and his wife,
Mary. Duncombe was a prominent early-day attorney and
industrialist here.

Mrs. Duncombe sold the South Twelfth Street building lot in 1909 to
Mercie T. Evans, wife of Dr. Evans. Four years later the Evans built
the brick home which they occupied for many years.

The house has changed ownership a number of times and 18

once was owned by Mr. and Mrs. John P. Barton. Mrs. Barton
was a niece of Dr. and Mrs. Evans. Following the deaths of the
Bartons the house was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Al Hayden who now live
in Mesa, Ariz. After some remodeling of the house it was sold by
Haydens in 1967 to the Don Slotten family. They, in turn, sold the
property in 1972 to Mr. and Mrs. Norman Lee Pingel who presently
reside there with their family.

Dr. Evans was born in Canada in 1857 and in 1888 was graduated
from the Detroit College of Medicine. He began his medical practice
in LaCrosse, Wis., and remained there until 1891 when he came to
Fort Dodge and opened an office in the downtown area at 516½
Central Ave.

In 1908 he associated himself with Dr. C. H. Mulroney and Dr. W. W.

Bowen. After 15 months Dr. Mulroney withdrew from the firm and
Dr. Evans and Dr. Bowen continued together for 24 years with offices
in the Snell Building. In the spring of 1932 Dr. Evans retired from
active practice and in the fall of that year he died suddenly at his
home.

Dr. Evans was married to Miss Mercie Thompson of LaCrosse. They

had no children but raised two orphan nieces, Sarah and Kathryn
Thompson. Kathryn was married to John P. Barton who was a city
commissioner here some years ago. Both are now deceased.
 THE DR. BOWEN HOME

The Dr. Bowen home

628 S. Twelfth Street

Two Fort Dodge physicians and surgeons who practiced together for
24 years also lived in the same South Twelfth Street neighborhood.
They were Dr. W. W. Bowen, whose home at 628 S. 12th St. is
pictured above, and Dr. Robert Evans who resided at 530 S. 12th St.
Both residences are of brick construction, fronting east on 19
Twelfth Street, and were built about the same time in 1913.
Dr. Bowen purchased his lot in 1912 and erected the house a year
later.

The Bowen residence is now owned and occupied by another

physician and his wife—Dr. and Mrs. Walter E. Gower—who acquired
the property in 1946. The house has one unique feature—lightning
rods on the roof.

The home has five rooms and a half bath on the first floor, four
bedrooms and bath on the second floor and two finished rooms on
the third floor. There is a butler’s pantry and a second pantry on the
first floor, both with their original cupboards. In the butler’s pantry is
a small heating element to keep dishes warm during the winter
months.

Woodwork in the house has the original finish and has never been
redone. The Gowers have been told that the excellent varnish finish
is the same as used on the early-day Pullman railroad cars.

Dr. Bowen was born in Marion, Ill., in 1869 and as a youth of 15

moved with his parents to Kossuth County where the family settled
near Algona. He attended the Algona public schools and later
Northern Illinois Normal School in Dixon, Ill. In 1895 he graduated
from the University of Iowa Medical college and began the practice
of medicine at Whittemore. After five years he sold his practice and
went to Berlin, Germany, for a year.

Returning to the United States in 1901 he came to Fort Dodge where

he was a prominent physician and surgeon until 1940 when he
retired. He and Dr. Evans practiced together for 24 years.

Dr. Bowen was active in medical societies and served as president of

the Iowa Medical Society. He was a charter Fellow of the American
College of Surgeons which was organized in 1913.
In 1895 Dr. Bowen was married to Miss May King and they were
parents of a son, Harold, and a daughter, Lydia. Dr. Bowen died in
Fort Dodge in 1944 at age 75.
 THE CHENEY HOME
An early-day Fort Dodge banker—John C. Cheney—built this home at
1008 3rd Ave. S. in 1896—another of the fine residences constructed
in the 1890-1900 era.

Cheney was one of the organizers of the Fort Dodge National Bank
(now the First National Bank) and first president when it began
business in 1882. He and his wife resided in the Third Avenue South
home until 1913 when it was acquired by J. R. Mulroney. The
Mulroney family owned the property until 1931 when it was
purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Tom Kelley.

The three-story house is of frame construction with a large open

porch on the front. On the first floor are parlor, dining room, library
and kitchen with breakfast nook that earlier was a butler’s pantry.
The second floor has five bedrooms and two baths; the third floor
includes a large finished room and storage space.

A first floor fireplace in the home is unique in that it won second

prize in the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1892-1893. It
reportedly was purchased by Cheney and shipped to Fort Dodge for
his new home that was constructed shortly after the exposition
closed.

The fireplace is made of hand carved oak with red tile around the
fire area. The ornate mantel atop the fireplace has a large mirror
with lights on either side. Columns on sides of the fireplace are
topped by hand carved gargoyles.

Mulroney, who once owned the property was a well-known Fort

Dodger and one of the owners and officers of the Mulroney
Manufacturing Company. The company produced overalls and work
clothes for many years and distributed them over a wide area. The
three-story building at First Avenue North and Seventh Street now
occupied by the Marso & Rodenborn Manufacturing Company is the
former plant of the Mulroney firm.

20

The Cheney home

1008 3rd Avenue South

Tom Kelley and his wife, Mary Brady Kelley, moved into the house in
the fall of 1931. Kelley was a widely-known insurance man who
organized the Kelley Insurance Agency now located at 216 S. 8th St.
Two of his sons, Robert and Thomas X., are presently members of
the firm carrying on the business.
Following the deaths of Kelley in 1958 and Mrs. Kelley in 1959 the
property was transferred to Robert and Thomas Kelley and their
sister, Mrs. Charles H. McCrea of Las Vegas, Nev., the former Mary
Loyola Kelley. The home has been rented for many years and
currently is occupied by the Robert Tarbox family.
 THE GEORGE GILLMAN HOME
The large two-story brick and cement faced residence at 400 N. 9th
St. has been known as the Gillman home since it was built in 1915
by George W. Gillman, a prominent pharmacist and businessman of
Fort Dodge.

Gillman lived there until his death in 1959. The house is now owned
by William J. Thatcher. Two apartments in the home are currently
rented out.

Henry Kehm & Sons—well-known brick masons and home builders

here for many years—constructed the house for Gillman. Originally it
had living room, solarium, music room, dining room and kitchen on
the first floor; four bedrooms, bathrooms and sleeping porch on the
second floor. A large attic provided storage space.

Gillman started his drug store here in 1904 at the southwest corner
of First Avenue South and Seventh Street in a new building erected
by Colby Brothers, who operated a livery barn here in the earlier
days. The store was in operation at this location until the spring of
1974 when it closed its doors after 70 years of continuous operation.
Roy W. Gillman, son of the store’s founder, was associated with the
firm for 56 years and the owner until the store closed.

The senior Gillman, who was 79 at time of his death, was born in
Nowlin, S. D., and came with his family to Badger at an early 21
age. As a boy he worked in the Campbell & Tower drug store
here and later graduated in pharmacy from Highland Park University
in Des Moines. After working with Campbell & Tower as a registered
pharmacist he opened his own store.
 The George Gillman home
400 N. Ninth Street

Gillman was active in pharmacy circles and was a member of the

State Board of Pharmacy for 18 years, serving as its chairman
several times.

Gillman was also interested in the theater and was president of the
Princess Theater Company which built and operated the Princess
here for many years. During his years as manager, the theater
offered some of the finest vaudeville available and also booked in
outstanding shows with celebrated performers. The theater finally
closed its doors and in 1939 the building was sold to the First
National Bank. It is now the home of the bank at 18 N. 9th St.
 THE VINCENT HOUSE
One of the few remaining landmarks in Fort Dodge is the historic
Vincent home at 824 3rd Ave. S. The house is now more than a
century old, having been built in 1871 by James Swain, a pioneer
Fort Dodge resident who was in the wholesale and retail drug
business.

The house was purchased in 1879 by Webb Vincent, an early-day

Fort Dodge industrialist and one of the founders of the gypsum
industry here in 1872. Associated with him at that time in the
establishment of the Fort Dodge Plaster Mills were George S.
Ringland and Stillman T. Meservey.

The Webb Vincent family moved into the spacious home Oct. 17,
1879. It had been occupied continuously by members of the family
until the death in 1969 of Mrs. Anne Vincent, widow of Donald
Vincent.

The home has an exterior of red brick—a “soft brick” made from red
clay that was found extensively in this area. Foundation walls are of
limestone set in mortar. These stones of different sizes and roughly
hewn form a foundation wall about seven feet high. Exterior house
walls are 30 inches thick and interior walls are 24 inches thick.

Rooms of the house are large. Ceilings on the first floor are 14 feet
high, on the second floor 12 feet high and on the third floor 22
nine feet high. The third floor included a ballroom, 20 × 50
feet in size, where many early-day parties were held.
 The Vincent House
824 3rd Avenue South

The Vincent House was entered on the National Register of Historic

Places in 1973 and in 1974 was allocated $1,200 in federal funds for
preservation purposes. The money will be used for restoration of the
third floor ballroom in the house.

The beautiful home at the northwest corner of Third Avenue South

and Ninth Street has been preserved through the years in excellent
condition. It survived a battle in 1957 and 1958 with the Federal
Government when it was proposed to raze the structure to make
room for the nearby Federal Building and Post Office.
Mrs. Anne Vincent bequeathed the historic home to the Fort Dodge
YWCA. Income from a $150,000 trust fund may be used by the
YWCA to keep the home in good repair and to redecorate it. The
home is now being used by the organization for many gatherings.
 THE FORD HOME
Fort Dodge mayor John F. Ford, who served from 1911 to 1919,
resided in this Fifth Avenue North home for many years with his wife
and five children. Ford won election as mayor when the city’s form of
government was changed from the ward system to the present
commission system.

The first City Council under the commission form included Mayor
Ford, Commissioner Frank W. Collins and Commissioner C. H. (Cad)
Smith. At that time Collins was in charge of the department of
accounts, finances, public properties and parks. Smith headed the
department of public safety, streets and public improvements.

The two-story frame house at 1242 5th Ave. N., which the Ford
family occupied was built in 1890 and acquired by the Fords in 1895.
The home has changed ownership a number of times since 23
the Fords resided there and presently is owned by Mrs. Fatima
Habhab, who with her late husband, Allie, purchased the property in
1953.
 The Ford home
1242 5th Avenue North

Ford was prominent in Fort Dodge and Webster County affairs for
many years. He was born here in 1864 and when six years old
moved with his parents to a Jackson Township farm. He lived on the
farm for 21 years and then moved back to Fort Dodge. During his
years on the farm Ford taught school for 10 years during the winter
months.

In 1893 Ford was appointed deputy county auditor under Auditor T.

A. Cunningham and served in that capacity for six years, then was
elected county auditor and served for another six years. Later he
was interested in the R. B. Berryhill store at the northwest corner of
Central Avenue and Eighth Street which sold books, stationery and
had a complete newsstand.

Ford was an outstanding bowler and a member of championship

bowling teams of Fort Dodge with other well-known men of his time.

Mr. and Mrs. Ford were the parents of a son and four daughters.
They were Howard, Mary, Charlotte, Helen and Alice.
 THE ROBERTS HOME
Another of the landmark homes along Third Avenue South is the
Roberts home, 919 3rd Ave. S., which housed publishers and editors
of The Messenger for many years. Built by George E. Roberts in
1888, the house is a three-story frame structure with large porches
that extend along the north, east and south sides.

Occupying an impressive location at the southwest corner of Third

Avenue South and Tenth Street, the house has an expansive yard
extending southward from the avenue for a considerable distance.
Large trees also surround the home.

24
 The Roberts home
919 3rd Avenue South

Beautiful oak and cherry woodwork mark the interior of the rooms
on the first floor. A large open entrance hall with beamed oak ceiling
is just inside the front entryway. It features oak woodwork and a
large fireplace with a carved oak mantel. The open stairway to the
second floor is flanked by large columns of Grecian design.

The adjoining library room also has a fireplace and is unique with its
cherry woodwork and massive open bookcases. A large handcrafted
wood archway over a huge window at the east separates the
bookcases. Floors in the entrance hall, library, living room and dining
room are of oak. There are four bedrooms and two baths on the
second floor and attic space on the third floor. The house has a large
basement area, including a cyclone cellar with an arched brick
ceiling.

George E. Roberts was an outstanding early-day newspaperman and

also served for a time as state printer for Iowa. He advanced from
the publishing business here to the office of director of the United
States Mint and later to high banking positions.

When Roberts left Fort Dodge in 1898 he was succeeded at The

Messenger by his brother, Charles A. Roberts, who also purchased
the home at 919 3rd Ave. S. Charles Roberts was head of The
Messenger until his death Jan. 1, 1933.

Following the death of Mrs. Roberts in 1957, the Roberts home was
inherited by Mrs. John C. Deardorf, the former Catherine Vincent.
She presently occupies the stately home.
 THE GRIFFITH HOME
One of the fine homes in the south part of Fort Dodge is the
residence at 1234 6th Ave. S. whose history dates back to the
1870s. Familiarly known as the Griffith home, it was occupied by the
Frank Griffith family for many years.

City assessor records show the original portion of the home at this
location was built in 1871, but was remodeled, enlarged and
modernized years later. Located on parts of two lots, the 25
house has a 93-foot frontage on Sixth Avenue South and 106
feet on Thirteenth Street.

The Griffith home

1234 6th Avenue South
John F. Duncombe, pioneer attorney here, was the first owner of the
property before a house was erected there. He sold the lots in 1861
to a William Kellner who, in turn, disposed of the property to William
C. Young. The original house is believed to have been built by Young
as he retained ownership of the property until 1883.

Frank W. Griffith, an architect who later was manager of the U. S.

Gypsum plant here, purchased the home in 1914. Age of the house
is shown by the fact that its construction includes solid walnut
studdings, walnut floor joists and walnut sheathing. Foundation walls
are of limestone.

The two-story house has a shingle exterior. The first floor has living
room, L-shaped dining room, playroom, kitchen, screened-in porch
and large entrance hall. On the second floor are three bedrooms,
bath, screened-in porch and attic space.

Griffith came to Fort Dodge in 1901 to design the Blanden gypsum

mill located about a mile east of the present Celotex plant. He also
supervised construction of the plant of the American Independent
Gypsum Company organized in 1906.

Griffith then went to Chicago with the United States Gypsum

Company and in 1908 was transferred to Fort Dodge as manager of
the local mill and office. Later he was transferred to Alabaster, Mich.,
and then returned to Fort Dodge in 1913 as manager of the U. S. G.
plant. He remained as plant manager here until 1921 when he
resigned to resume architectural work. His son, Stanford W. Griffith,
later joined him in the business and is presently head of the Griffith
Company architectural firm here. The elder Griffith continued work
as an architect until his death in 1953.

The Griffith home is now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Daniel F. Carney
who reside there.
 THE BUTLER HOUSE
This attractive white frame house at 924 5th Ave. N. dates its history
back to 1880 and from 1901 until 1945 was known as the Paddy
Butler home. During this 44-year period it was the home of Mr. 26
and Mrs. Patrick D. (Paddy) Butler and family.

The Butler House

924 5th Avenue North

Earlier the house was the First Presbyterian Church’s manse and was
occupied by Dr. J. Milton Greene, the church pastor, from 1893 to
1899. During these years the residence was familiarly called the
“Preacher Greene” house.
