The George A. Wells House, also known as the Wells-Booker-Taylor House, is a historic residence located in Fairfield, Iowa, United States. Wells was a drugest and later a banker who settled in Fairfield in 1856. Because of financial difficulties he built the house over a period of four years, completing it in 1883.[2] He was also a local promoter who sat on the Parsons College board of trustees. A Republican, he served as an alderman and mayor of Fairfield. Samuel F. Booker, another community promoter and a farmer, was the second owner retired and died here. The two-story house is a combination of brick and frame construction. It is a late example of Vernacular Greek Revival style.[2] The back wing, which is the frame portion of the structure, is original to the house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
