Iowa gets a bad reputation for being a flat state full of farms and cornfields. Luckily, those of us who live here can challenge that reputation by showing off all the unique, quirky, and unusual treasures that are hiding in plain sight. One of these is a quirky Frank Lloyd Wright House, located in the heart of Mason City.
Mason City is known worldwide for being a city full of brilliant architecture, but one home, in particular, stands out.

The Stockman House was sort of an accident: Wright was in Mason City to build City National Bank and the Park Hotel when he was hired to build this unique home.
