Iverson House
40 Iverson Avenue
Point Arena
Built: c.1875

This building is an excellent example of houses that were built in Point Arena after the period of settlement in the 1860s. The design is functional and without ornamentation.

Niels Iversen came to Point Arena in 1865 and became a merchant and hotel-owner. By 1880, only one resident of the township had property worth more than Iversen's property. Although it is not known whether Iversen lived in this house himself, members of the Iversen family resided here for several generations.

Source: NRHP nomination submitted in 1990.

The NRHP nomination spells Iverson two different ways. The house is called the Iverson House, and it is on Iverson Street. However, the family name is spelled Iversen. I don't know the reason for this variance.
