The George W. and Mary J. (Maxwell) Robinson House, also known as the Johnston B. Robinson House, is a historic building located in Mount Vernon, Iowa, United States. It is significant for being constructed of locally made brick and locally quarried limestone, and its vernacular architectural techniques.[2] This house probably incorporated the original single-story frame house that was built at this location c. 1865. In 1887, George W. Robinson rebuilt the house as a two-story brick structure. It was built on the same property as Robinson's brickyard, the main brick and lime manufacturer in Mount Vernon at the time.[2] The American Vernacular house is capped with a hipped roof and it features a wrap-around Neoclassical front porch that was added in the early 1900s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.[1]
