The Wesley West House is a historic building located in Mount Vernon, Iowa, United States. West and his wife Polly settled here in 1859. He had local builder Marsden Keyes build this two-story, brick, Italianate residence on his 170-acre (69 ha) farm in 1877.[2] After Wesley West died in 1894, his son David acquired the house and did an extensive renovation in 1897. The house remained in the family until 1982. It features a square plan with a single story off-centered kitchen wing, a symmetrical facade, and a hipped roof with bracketed eaves. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
