Robertsons rebuild home after 1970 fire in Iowa City

After a November 1970 blaze gutted the Robertson home at 825 South 4th the family chose to reconstruct inside the existing shell. They preserved the exterior with a rebuilt interior, moving the entrance, closing the front porch, enlarging the kitchen and master bedroom while keeping the floor plan largely the same to preserve a sense of home for the children. Local family members and contractors assisted in clearing debris and restoring the house to a Southwestern style mood rooted in its original mood and memories.
