Newell-Johnson-Searle House
609 Walnut St.Oskaloosa (Jefferson County)
Listed in National Register Jul 10, 2017
Architect: Unknown
Area of Significance: domestic
Architectural Style(s): Vernacular
The Newell-Johnson-Searle House is associated with the establishment and early development of Oskaloosa. Named for those who owned it during the period of significance (1858-1918), the property reflects layers of occupation, beginning with the ownership of Newell. Although the property has changed since Newell’s occupation, this is the only documented resource associated with this locally significant person. Newell was a co-founder of Oskaloosa and a key figure in the area’s Bleeding Kansas period. After Newell, local banker Francis M. Johnson lived here from 1874 to 1905, renovating the dilapidated frame residence in 1877. Johnson’s grandson, stockman and breeder Francis J. Searle, lived here from 1905 to 1918. He is responsible for the appearance of the homestead as it is today, as he rebuilt much of the house after a fire in 1913.
