Gibbs House, also known as Griffith Hall, was a historic building located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. Gibbs settled in town in 1869 and became a prominent member of the community here.[2] He was a banker, real estate developer, founded an insurance company, a coal mining company, developed a coal mine, helped to bring the railroad to town, founded the Oskaloosa Times, and served as its first editor. He hired Oskaloosa architect Frank E. Wetherell to design this Neoclassical house, which was completed in 1903. It was the third large commission Wetherell received in a three-year period. The other two being St. James Episcopal Church and the Oskaloosa Public Library. Known as "The Elms," the two-story brick house replaced a frame house at the same location, which was the family farm. This house shows his continued interest in Neoclassical detailing, but this is his first executed in brick.[2] Wetherell relocated to Des Moines three years after the house was completed. The Gibbs family gave the house to neighboring William Penn University, and they renamed it Griffith Hall. It was used for offices and music rooms. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 13, 1991.[1] It has subsequently been torn down.
