The John H. Shoemake House, also known as the Shoemake-Muhl House, is a historic residence located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. A native of Tennessee, Shoemake was a local businessman and local politician who settled in Mahaska County from Illinois in 1848. He had this two-story brick residence built in 1852 at a time when most houses in the area were built of wood.[2] It follows the I-house plan, and it features Federal style elements that are found in the stepped gables, the massing of chimneys in pairs, and its overall symmetry. It was built with a flat roof, which was not unusual in Oskaloosa at the time.[2] The gable roof was added sometime after 1869. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
