The Dr. George A. Jenkins House is a historical residence located in Albia, Iowa, United States. It is the largest Tudor Revival house in the city.[2] The 2½-story, wood frame house features a symmetrical facade, and half-timbering that is associated with the style. It is capped with a steeply pitched gable roof and gable dormers. It has an unusual exterior cladding of concrete with river gravel cobblestone set in the wet concrete during construction. The hen's egg sized stones are more than likely from the Des Moines River near Eddyville, Iowa, as they are consistent with other rocks available from that location.[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
