Clow Valve manufactures marker for Oskaloosa's first local landmark

A metal plaque reads “Oskaloosa Historic Landmark” with an engraved image of an arched structure above the text.

Clow Valve recently delivered the marker to officially designate Oskaloosa's first local landmark outside the downtown historic district designated by the city council. The marker was made for the Russell House. The Russell house was built in 1953, designed by architect George Russell and represents an excellent and well-preserved example of the Usonian residential architecture that famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright advocated for beginning in the 1930s.
