505 Court Street is a historic house located at the address of the same name in Bellevue, Iowa.

Description and history

It is one of over 217 limestone structures in Jackson County from the mid-19th century, of which 101 are houses. What differentiates this Gothic Revival style structure from most of the others is the "high style" decorative elements such as the vergeboards, and the brackets.[2] Built in 1871, the 1½-story house follows an L-shaped plan. It features rather small coursed cut stone block with only a slight variation in size and shape, and dressed stone sills, lintels, and watertable.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 30, 1991.[1]
