The Abiathar and Nancy White House is a historic building located in Burlington, Iowa, United States. Built c. 1840, this is the largest Federal-style building in the city.[2] Abiathar and Nancy White moved their family to Burlington from Dighton, Massachusetts in 1838. They acquired this property the same year. Abiathar was a carpenter who may have built this house. One of Abiathar and Nancy's sons, Charles Abiathar White, became a well-known geologist and paleontologist.[2] This was his childhood home.
The house was built as a single-family dwelling, but since 1850 it has been listed as a multiple-family dwelling. It was built into a limestone hillside. The brick structure rises three stories and includes an attic. It features side gables with parapets between the chimneys, dentiled brick cornice, limestone lintels and sills, and a two-story frame front porch. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[1]
