The Burnett–Montgomery House (also known as the James H. Montgomery House) is a historic house located at 605 North Third Street in Fairfield, Iowa.

Description and history

[edit]

Burnett was a lumber merchant who had the house built in 1888. James H. Montgomery was a partner in Joel Turney & Co., which manufactured farm wagons and was largest private-sector employer in Jefferson County before World War I.[2] The factory closed in 1932 as a result of the Great Depression and the decline in the use of horse-drawn wagons. This two-story brick house was designed in the Italianate style. It features a wrap-around porch and a two-story frame carriage house behind it. The house's historical significance is derived from its architecture and its association with the development of industry in Fairfield.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 27, 1983.[1]
