The Salisbury House. by Burgfresh
It's a very large mansion filled with paintings and antiques. It was built to resemble old English style mansions and was actually built with authentic English rafters from the 16th century. Don't miss the shruken heads in the basement or the room that has a rock form each of Iowa's 99 counties imbedded in it.
