Haberkorn House and Farmstead is a historic farm located west of Sherrill, Iowa, United States. The farmstead features a good example of a vernacular house type that is found only in northeast Iowa within the state. Its more prominent in around the village of St. Donatus in Jackson County. The basic features of the house are rockfaced limestone construction, a jerkinhead gable roof, a rectangular plan, and two or more stories in height. This 2½-story structure differs a little in that it has a front gable rather than a side gable, and it is a little larger than the others. These houses were built by immigrants who came here from Luxembourg and southern Germany. Adam Haberkorn and his son George built this house in 1870, and were natives of Bavaria. The family operated a small brewery and the front room of this house became a local tavern, and a polling place in the late 19th century.
