The Kurtz House, is a historic residence located in Washington, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1] The house was begun by V.W. Andrus in 1867, and completed in 1869 by M. Barratt when Andrus ran out of money.[2] J.F. Kurtz, for whom the house is named, lived here from 1919 to 1943. The two-story vernacular Italianate structure was built with locally made brick. A single-story addition was built onto the rear of the house, and the front porch has been removed. It is capped with a hip roof and deck. Decorative details include wide eaves and a wood cornice that are supported by paired brackets. Brick pilasters separate the bays.
