Facts and practical information

The Elbert-Bates House is a historical residence located in Albia, Iowa, United States. The house is named for two of its earlier owners. Benjamin F. Elbert was a cashier and member of the board of directors of the First National Bank of Albia, as well as a cattle farmer. He relocated to Des Moines, where he was a successful businessman. David W. Bates was a local attorney and banker. He served as the Iowa State Superintendent of Banking during the Great Depression. Elbert had the original house built from 1873 to 1875. Bates had the two-story Prairie Style-influenced solarium built onto the rear of the house from 1917 to 1918. The house originally had a wooden porch on the front, but, because of extensive wood rot, it was removed at the same time the solarium was added. ()
