Carroll Alsop House, (also known as Mitchell House) is a historic house located at 1907 A Avenue East in Oskaloosa, Iowa.

Description and history

It is one of seven Frank Lloyd Wright designed Usonian houses located in Iowa, and one of two that were constructed in Oskaloosa.[2] Both were completed in 1951. This house is an L-plan, unless you count the carport, which makes it a T-plan. It was a custom-built house that embodied the ideals of "free and simple living, in touch with nature, for the family of moderate means."[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 9, 1988.[1]
