Col. John Q. and Rowena (Camp) Wilds House
The Col. John Q. and Rowena (Camp) Wilds House, also known as the James and Ruth (King) Smith House, is a historic building located in Mount Vernon, Iowa, United States. It is significant with the settlement of the city that was influenced by the establishment of the Military Road, for being constructed of locally made brick and locally quarried limestone, and its vernacular architectural techniques. A native of Fulton County, Pennsylvania, John Wilds settled in Mount Vernon in 1853, opened a general store, and invested in real estate. He married Rowena Camp and they had two daughters. Wilds had this house built in 1857. It was probably built by brothers Henry and William Albright, the town’s earliest masons. The two-story, brick structure exhibits elements of Early Republic influences. Jo
