The last town heading downstream on the Des Moines River is Farmington, named after the one in Connecticut. Founded in 1839, around the same town as the other settlements in this area, there are some interesting buildings in town.

The most notable is the L. Burg Block, constructed in rough stone in 1878 in the Italianate style. It is interesting that it is stone considering the brick industry was already active in the area by then.

There is a nice main street nearby.

But what I found most interesting was the large number of Gothic Revival cottages in the town; you can see one example below.

There was also this house with a gigantic conical turret, which I suspect was once much more ornamented in the Queen Anne Style.
