Built in 1856, and on The National Register of Historic Places, The Folsom House stands as a sentinel, looking majestically down Willow Avenue. It originally sat farther back on the lot, below the old Council Bluffs High School at the top of the high bluff. According to the nomination of the district to the National Register of Historic Places, the house was moved forward by Ward Folsom, son of Jeremiah, who, upon his marriage in 1906, moved and remodeled the house. The 1906 remodeling changed the house from its original Greek Revival appearance to a Colonial Revival foursquare. The two-story brick house has a hipped roof and dormers. The wrap-around porch has tripled and paired round posts which were added in 1906. The home would be great for photoshoots or filming. It features a large wrap-around front porch, a beautiful entryway and staircase, a spacious parlor, a dining room, and more. All are decorated with antique and vintage furniture and accessories. Semi-private backyard is also available. There’s also a room/workspace full of vintage clothing that can be available with prior agreement. Please contact me for additional photos.
