History

Built in basic Dutch design about 1855 to 1860 by brothers B.H. and J.H.H. Van Spanckeren, who came from the Netherlands in 1847, these row houses included a west house where B.H. operated a general store for a time and an east house where Nicholas and Virginia Earp and their children are thought to have lived sometime between 1861 and 1864. The Earp family came to the Pella area in 1850 to farm, and in 1864 they left Pella by wagon train for California.
