The Daniel and Margaret Wild House is an historic building located in Cedar Falls, Iowa, United States. Designed by William A. Robinson, the two-story frame Queen Anne was completed in 1895. It features a rooftop porch turret, pink granite foundation, and the use of exotic woods such as circassian walnut and Georgia curly pine.[2] The house was built for Daniel and Margaret Wild and their family. Daniel Wild was a German immigrant who settled in Cedar Falls in 1853, the same year he married Margaret. He owned a brick company by 1868 and then expanded into lumber, coal, farming and rest estate. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.[1]
