Seven Oaks, also known as the Dixon House, is a historic building located in Sac City, Iowa, United States. The house is locally significant as the finest example of the Queen Anne style. [2] The 2½-story frame structure was designed by Storm Lake, Iowa architect J.M. Russell. The sun porches were designed by the prominent Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot & Bird. Weatherboard covers the exterior of the first two floors and the gable ends are composed of wood shingles. It has a fieldstone basement and brick chimneys. It was the first residence in town to have electricity because it had its own generator. [2] The house was built by Eli and Amie Baily for their family home. He was a prominent local banker. It passed to their daughter and son-in-law Paul and Elizabeth Dixon. Paul owned the family lumber company. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. [1]
