Muscatine Avenue Moffitt Cottage Historic District
The Muscatine Avenue Moffitt Cottage Historic District is a National Register of Historic Places district that includes five stone cottages in Iowa City epitomizing the eccentric vernacular architectural style of Howard Moffitt. Moffitt constructed more than 100 houses in Iowa City and Coralville, Iowa and a few in Citrus City, Texas. These small houses represent one of the regional 20th century vernacular architectural styles in the United States. Howard Moffitt was a prolific builder.〔(The Small Homes of Howard F. Moffitt in Iowa City and Coralville, Iowa )〕
==Howard Moffitt==
Howard Francis Moffitt was a prolific builder, constructing between 100 and 200 homes in Iowa City and Coralville between 1924 and 1943. With no formal training in construction or architecture, Moffitt began building homes as a side business from his auto parts distributorship. Moffitt's house designs appear to have been concocted from magazine photos, consultation with friends, limitations of available building supplies, and whimsy. In 1943 Moffitt moved to Citrus City, Texas, and attempted to reproduce his success there, however only seven or eight houses were built in Texas.〔Miller, Phil (1992) Howard Moffitt’s Small Homes and Stone Cottages.''The Palimpsest: Iowa’s Popular History Magazine'':73(4).〕 Moffitt’s Iowa City houses appear to be a response to increasing demand for affordable small houses, especially rental houses, in the growing university town.〔Nash, Jan (1992) The Shift to Small Homes: Moffitt Houses in a Local Context.''The Palimpsest: Iowa’s Popular History Magazine'':73(4).〕
