Abner Martin House

The Abner Martin House, also known as The Pat Murphy Place, is a historic residence located south of Mount Zion, Iowa, United States.

Mrs. Perry Trible stated, in a 1935 interview, that her and others would hold parties at the Abner Martin House during the Civil War.

[4] The secret meetings and assumption of being "copperheads" was likely due to the Martins being lifelong Democrats which may have opposed the Republican-led Civil War with the South.

The Bordman Sherod family owned the house for years, and their daughter Blanche and her husband, E. N. (Pat) Murphy, were the last occupants before the Fishers moved in.

Dick and Oneita Fisher completed restoration[7] on the home and continued to live in the house into the 1980s but did have to tear down a carriage barn on the property.

The Huffmans later began and completed a large restoration project at the house; updating and replacing all interior and exterior structure and materials.
