The John and Lavina Bangs House is an historic structure located near New London, Iowa, United States. John Bangs was a successful farmer and this is the second house he built on his property. A large Italianate style house on a farm, while not unheard of, was somewhat of a rarity. It is possible that the high-style was chosen, and its location on a major roadway, may indicate the owner's desire to communicate his own or the area's passage from its pioneer origins to a more cultured reality.[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[1]
