On Thursday, volunteers from the Heritage Trust, the DPI Design Committee and Keep Burlington Beautiful began cleaning up excessive vegetation around the National Register-listed Warren-Nassau House in Burlington. The Italianate house was built in 1847 by Fitz Henry Warren, a member of the Whig party, the first assistant postmaster general, and a major-general in the Union Army during the Civil War. It replaced the first brick building in Iowa, which had been built by Judge David Rorer a decade earlier. The Warren-Nassau House is currently owned by the Southeastern Community College, and may be sold for use by the community.
