Dirk Van Loon House
The Dirk Van Loon House – also known as the Rock House – is an historic residence located in Pella, Iowa, United States. Van Loon was a native of the Netherlands who immigrated to Pella in 1856.[2] He bought this property from Dominie Scholte, the town's founder.[3] Van Loon built the single-story, coarsely dressed, native limestone structure, and the frame addition off the back as his family grew. In 1875, he became a homesteader in Kansas. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
