The significance of this house is the unique architectural combination of the Italianate and Georgian styles found in Iowa.[2] The latter style is found in the symmetrical composition of the attached service wing. The two-story brick main block features a low-hipped roof, wide eaves and a plain wood cornice. The house was built by Henry Harcourt Horn, a native of Hertfordshire who was part of the English Colony in the Decorah area. The colony was established in the early 1860s, principally by well-to-do Englishmen who tried to become gentleman farmers. Most of them, including Horn, failed. Horn moved into Decorah and tried his hand in a variety of businesses. He had to file for bankruptcy and lost his house in a sheriff's sale. He relocated to St. Paul, Minnesota where he took up a law career. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|2009a}} {{Registered Historic Places}}{{NRHP in Winneshiek County, Iowa}}{{Iowa-NRHP-stub}}{{Iowa-struct-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=77000568}}|title=Horn House|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=2016-07-10|author=Marlys Svendsen-Roesle}} with {{NRHP url|id=77000568|photos=y|title=photos}} 5 : Houses completed in 1869|Houses in Winneshiek County, Iowa|National Register of Historic Places in Winneshiek County, Iowa|Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Iowa|Italianate architecture in Iowa |
