	Floyd, one of the earliest and wealthiest settlers in Dubuque County, came to this area prior to legal settlement in 1833 and was probably driven out by the United States military. He returned after the [[BLACK HAWK WAR]] of 1832. Floyd assisted in obtaining the logs for the construction of Dubuque's [[BELL TAVERN]], once a popular meeting place where the [[HOTEL JULIEN DUBUQUE]] was later located.

Returning to Iowa, he settled northwest of Dubuque and farmed six hundred acres, obtained the appointment of postmaster, and built a cabin similar to the dog-trot cabin at [[HAM HOUSE]] east of the present city of Holy Cross. The first winter, the cabin had no doors. Floyd, assisting in the burial of [[ANDERSON, Kentuck\|Kentuck ANDERSON]], used planking intended for doors in the construction of a casket for the outlaw.

	Improved the second year, the cabin became known at the "Pin Oak" for the variety of trees growing in the area. It is claimed that the name was not chosen by Floyd, but instead by a neighboring pioneer, Franklin Emerson. With the growth of population the need to establish a post office was clear. Floyd was named postmaster. In agreeing to establish a post office, Floyd used the nature of pin oaks to rot early. He set a series of shelves into a rotten tree trunk.

On the first floor a large dining room and kitchen with a great fireplace shared space with a storage room which later became a general store. The second floor had two large rooms each having its own fireplace. The third floor was similar to the second. Two story porches extended the full length of the building on the front and back.
