The Sioux City Journal surveys Iowa governors living in Des Moines, noting Larrabee rented a frame house for about 50 dollars a month, Boies stayed at the Savery house with minimal entertaining, Jackson maintained a modern home and active social duties, Drake used the Savery and entertained modestly, and Shaw rented a furnished house and later the Victoria Hubbell apartment.
