This beautiful Victorian home stands out on this residential street in Storm Lake. It was built in 1875 and has been restored to its original splendor. Family furniture, photographs, and other memorabilia are all on exhibit, much like it appeared when the Harker family lived there. The architect was J.M. Russell who constructed it for a sum of $500. It is now maintained by a historical foundation and tours are available on weekends or by arrangement. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 (#90001855)
