Update
On December 16, 2009, this property was purchased by an "MC Acquisitions, LLC" - as of February 9, 2010, I was unable to find a Secretary of State corporation filing for this business.
1618 Oakland
Frank Jackson and his family lived here prior to and during his term as governor. Since Iowa did not provide a house for governors at the time, the house was in effect the Iowa Governor's Mansion from 1895 to 1897. The Jacksons lived here until the early 1920's when they moved to California. In 1925, the Jackson House and the home of Iowa Supreme Court Justice Scott Ladd at 1624 Oakland were purchased for a proposed Baptist Home and Orphanage.
