The W.L. and Winnie (Woodfield) Belfrage Farmstead Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located south of Sergeant Bluff, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.[1] At the time of its nomination it contained six resources, which included four contributing buildings and two non-contributing buildings.[2] The four contributing buildings are the dairy barn (1910), farmhouse (1920), brooder house (c. 1945), and the chicken coop (c. 1945). The two no-contributing buildings are the cattle shed (1960) and the garage/utility building (2006).
Its significance is found in the Prairie School-style farmhouse designed by prominent Sioux City architect William L. Steele. This is the only known farmhouse designed by Steele.[2] The other well-preserved agricultural buildings on an early twentieth-century farmstead are also of significance. Holtze Construction of Sioux City built the house, and it was the first building constructed by the new company.[2] Aaron Gunderson built the dairy barn.
