The Adams-Higgins House is a historic home in Spencer, Iowa, United States. It is located at 1215 Grand Avenue. The home is also referred to as the Higgins House or Higgins Mansion. The house is architecturally unusual because it was built as a late Victorian style house in 1884, then substantially renovated in 1912 with addition of neo-classical porches and roofline.[2]
In 1984, it was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1] At the time the property retained historic landscaping and a 32 feet (9.8 m) by 29 feet (8.8 m) playhouse from c. 1917–18.[2] In 2014 it was included as a contributing property in the North Grand Avenue Residential Historic District.[3]
