Terrace Hill

Terrace Hill is an architectural marvel that was built as a private home in 1869 for Benjamin Franklin Allen and his family. It was eventually sold to Frederick Marion Hubbell in 1884 and was occupied by members of the Hubbell family for the next 70 years. In 1971, the Hubbell family graciously donated the home to the State of Iowa, and now Terrace Hill is the official Iowa Governor’s Residence.
