The Alvin Bushnell Bell House is a historical building located in Ida Grove, Iowa, United States. Alvin Bell was a native of Indiana and moved to Ida County, Iowa in 1880. He was initially engaged in farming before he moved to Ida Grove where he was involved in a successful career in the livestock industry. By 1894 he started to purchase land that would become the 1,200-acre (490 ha) Bell Ranch.[2] The design of the house reflects one of the "mail order" houses of George Franklin Barber. It was constructed by local builders Thomas and William Bassett, and completed in 1895. The house is a 2½-story frame house in the Queen Anne style. It is capped with a high hipped, cross gabled roof. The exterior features rich exterior ornamentation. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
