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.

The Elijah D. and Mary J. (Adams) Waln House, also known as the C.P. and Gertrude E. Whittemore 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 Greek Revival architecture. Elijah and Mary Waln and their family were early pioneers in Mount Vernon. He set up the first general variety store in town, and was also one of the founders, a trustee, and a benefactor of Cornell College. He also served in the Iowa House of Representatives. The family's first house was a 2½-story frame structure that they had built when they moved to town. It was replaced around 1865 with this two-story, brick, Greek Revival-style residence. Waln hired brothers Henry and William Albright, who were Mount Vernon's first masons and owned its first brickyard, to build the new house. They lived here until 1892 when they sold the house to C.P. Whittemore, who added the rear addition and enclosed the lower part of the front porch in 1900. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.

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.

They added a large brick addition onto the north side of the house in 1875–1876. The two-story side-gabled structure features mid-19th century stylistic influences.

The Martin L. and Mary Jane (Yount) Shantz 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 Late Victorian architectural influences. It was built in 1882 on two lots in Saxby's Addition to Mount Vernon. The house is a two-story, L-shaped brick structure with a low-pitched hip roof, wide eaves, tall windows that enhance its verticality, and a three-sided bay window. It is a vernacular expression of Late Victorian stylistic influences. The house lacks elaborate exterior decorative elements and a substantial front porch at a time when they were popular. This either reflects the Shantz's preferences or a lack of finances to include them. The bricks used in its construction were more than likely from the G.W. Robinson brickyard, the main brick and lime manufacturer in Mount Vernon at the time. Shantz's blacksmith shop was also located on the property. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
