The W.H. Tedford House, also known as the Poston House, is an historical structure located in Corydon, Iowa, United States. The house was built in 1887 for W.H. Tedford, a local attorney who served as a justice of the district court from 1891 to 1901. The house was sold to Eugene E. Poston after Tedford's death in 1917, and it remained in that family well into the 20th century. The house is a typical example of late 19th century vernacular Italianate residential architecture found in Iowa.^[2] The house features a bracketed cornice and large window hoods. The elaborate woodwork detail of the porch is of particular note.^[2] It is capped with a low, crested hipped roof. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.^[1]
