Sutliff Bridge

Sutliff is an unincorporated community in Cedar Township, Johnson County, Iowa, United States, just south of Lisbon. The community was founded at the location of Sutliff's ferry. The ferry was operated from 1838 or 1840 onward by Allen (or Allan) C. Sutliff (1796–1873), the elder brother of the Ohio Supreme Court Judge Milton Sutliff (1806–1878). Sutliff, later sold the ferry service to Jim McLellan, whose nickname of "Butts" also tagged the community with the name Buttsville. The community is known for its bridge, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which was badly damaged during the Iowa Flood of 2008. Baxa's Sutliff Store & Tavern is the main public business. The Sutliff Store has been sitting on the banks of the Cedar River next to the Historic Sutliff Bridge since 1899. The Sutliff Bridge was reconstructed through FEMA funding approved by the Johnson County Board of Supervisors by a 3–2 vote. The reconstruction was supervised by VJ Engineering and construction was completed by Iowa Bridge and Culvert of Washington, Iowa. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held in October 2012 to open the bridge to the public again. It had been closed for four years following the devastation of the 2008 flood.

The Torrance House is a historic building located south of Lisbon, Iowa, United States. Cunningham and Margaret Torrance were natives of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania who settled in Franklin Township in 1847. The inscription stone in the east gable gives the date of this house as 1856. It was one of a few limestone buildings in Linn County even though the region has significant deposits of the stone. The settlement-era dwelling incorporates both vernacular and classical influences in its construction. The vernacular elements include the asymmetry of the facades, and the coursed ashlar and random coursed ashlar stonework. The classical is primarily found in the stone belt courses above the second floor and gable windows on the east elevation, and above both rows of windows on the main facade. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

Ivanhoe was a town in Franklin Township, Linn County, Iowa, United States. It was founded by early Iowa settlers, and laid out as a town by Anton Cowles at the intersection of the Old Military Road and the Red Cedar River. It was laid out in 1838 and surveyed in 1841. Ivanhoe was never platted, though it did have its own post office from 1845–49. Unlike other towns founded around that time on the Old Military Road, Ivanhoe faded away; many of its residents relocated to Mount Vernon, Cedar Rapids, or Marion. The February 1921 edition of The Palimpsest describes the area as having been "a refuge for horse thieves and dealers in counterfeit money", though it is unclear whether that was during the time that the town existed or afterwards. Besides the cemetery there are no standing structures left of the old town.

The George W. and Mary J. (Maxwell) Robinson House, also known as the Johnston B. Robinson House, is a historic building located in Mount Vernon, Iowa, United States. It is significant for being constructed of locally made brick and locally quarried limestone, and its vernacular architectural techniques. This house probably incorporated the original single-story frame house that was built at this location c. 1865. In 1887, George W. Robinson rebuilt the house as a two-story brick structure. It was built on the same property as Robinson's brickyard, the main brick and lime manufacturer in Mount Vernon at the time. The American Vernacular house is capped with a hipped roof and it features a wrap-around Neoclassical front porch that was added in the early 1900s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.

The Meyers Farmstead Historic District, also known as the Jacob E. and Amanda Meyers Farm and the John B. and Ella Meyers Farm, is an agricultural historic district located in Lisbon, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021. At the time of its nomination it consisted of six resources, which included two contributing buildings, two contributing structures, and two contributing objects. The historic buildings include a heavy timber frame Pennsylvania banked barn (1870s) and a feeder/hay barn (c. 1908). The historic structures include a combination corn crib/hog house (1880s) and a concrete silo (c. 1910). The contributing objects include a concrete watering trough and water pump and a metal gateway. The farmhouse is also extant but was separated from the rest of the farm buildings when South Jefferson Street was extended in 2002. That separation and the modifications made to it over the years has led to its loss of historical integrityHenry and Pricilla Meyers moved from Lebanon, Pennsylvania to Ohio, and then on to Lisbon in 1853. Their son Jacob, who was a brick mason, started farming the land adjacent to their home. The farm was incorporated into the city limits in 1877. The farm was owned by members of the Mayers family until 1983. Its significance is attributed to its association with agricultural trends in livestock and dairy farming in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The creameries in Lisbon likely led to the expansion and modernization of the dairy operation. The hog and cattle operation tied this farmstead to the nearby railroad shipping depot. The buildings and structures are also a result of a 1908 tornado that damaged them or were replacements for those that were destroyed.
