After five years, Harry returned to his studies at Iowa State University in Ames and the family left the farm at that time.
Notable features include the paired windows on the second floor of the main section and a shed-roof porch supported by posts extending from the smaller wing.
The extent of interior modifications remains uncertain, but they are believed to be minimal and characteristic of typical updates made to modest farmhouses.
At that time, Henry C. Wallace, who had become disinterested in his studies at Iowa State Agricultural College, persuaded his father to let him run the farm.
The farm is a key part of the Wallace family's story, representing their early experiences and the foundation for their later contributions to agriculture and national policy.
