Local knowledge

Why South Amana homes need a local read.

South Amana is an Amana Colony village of communal-era brick and frame houses.

South Amana housing runs to pre-1932 communal-era Amana Colony buildings — brick-heavy here — alongside a small number of later houses, across the village street and its communal-era buildings, the old agricultural structures at the edges, and the farm ground of the Amana Society tract around it, on Iowa County ground on the Iowa River drainage, on the transition between the drift plain and the Iowan Surface.

Questions

Common questions.

What makes a South Amana house different to inspect?
Its walls. The Amana Colonies were designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965 and the pre-1932 communal-era buildings are contributing structures, and South Amana in particular emphasized brick — even its granary and chicken house were built of it. Colony construction also used nogging, unfired brick stacked dry between the wall studs, plus straw between floors. That behaves nothing like platform framing: different thermal performance, different moisture movement in the cavity, and real constraints on where you can cut, fasten or add insulation. It deserves to be judged on its own terms.
How long does an inspection take?
Plan on two to three hours for an average home; larger, older or multi-unit properties run longer because there is simply more to document.
