The Joseph A. and Lydia A. Edwards House is a historic building located east of Salem, Iowa, United States. This two-story structure is a rare stone building in Henry County, and it reflects building construction from the settlement period of the county.[2] Joseph Edwards acquired this farm in 1841. He initially lived in a house located to the west, and this house replaced it in 1866. The Italianate style residence features a symmetrical facade, flat stone lintels and window sills, a cubical form capped with a hip roof, and a wide frieze with paired brackets. It is believed that the stone for the house's construction was quarried on the north side of the Edwards' farm.[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.[1]
