The Noah Odell House, also known as the Gilbert Rider House and the Wayside Inn, was a historic building located northeast of Nodaway, Iowa, United States. Odell is credited with building the I-house in 1858. It was significant as the only known example of the heavy frame I-house residential construction type in Adams County.[2] It is also believed that the house served as a stop on a stagecoach route, and it is possible that the house was a stop on the Underground Railroad, or at the very least that Odell was active in assisting runaway slaves.[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2000.[1] It was subsequent torn down and removed from the NRHP in 2022.[3]
