The Blair House of Washington, Iowa, formerly used as the town's City Hall, was built in 1881.

[2] It was built as a private residence by a local financier and realtor Winfield Smouse.

Its exterior is composed of brick and both the main block and the tower are capped with a mansard roof.

Des Moines architect William Wagner said the Blair House is a "little gem-a miniature Terrace Hill",[3] a reference to the present Iowa Governor's Mansion.
