The John and Fredericka Meyer Schnellbacher House is a historic residence located southwest of Winterset, Iowa, United States. The Schnellbachers were native Germans who settled in Madison County in 1855. He farmed 240 acres (97 ha), and was a preacher affiliated with the Evangelical Association of Ohio. This house is an early example of a vernacular limestone farmhouse. The 1½-story structure is composed of locally quarried stone that is almost ashlar finished and rubble. It features unique window and door surrounds on the main facade, a stone chimney, and an exposed basement.[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
