"4. 407 South Broadway, circa 1898.
The three-story frame Queen Anne house is one of the most prominent eclectic late-Victorian houses in Salisbury and is an excellent example of the Spindlework subtype. It sits on the east side of Broadway, oriented toward the southwest corner of 5th Street and Broadway. The house’s southwest corner has a three-story octagonal tower with two ornamental friezes, a metal dome, and a finial. Turned posts with lattice spandrels support the southwest wrap-around front porch and a pediment tops the southwest porch stairs. The west façade has a three-story projecting bay, a gabled dormer, and a second-story screened porch. A three-story chamfered gable projects from the south elevation. The east elevation has a one-story kitchen extension. The house displays a variety of wall cladding materials and a profusion of ornamental details, including clapboards, fishscale shingles, pent roofs, turned spindles and a metal roof finial. The house has a stone and concrete foundation and a complex roofline clad in asphalt shingles. A single frame garage is located west of the house. The house appears in its current configuration on the 1910 Sanborn map." ~ NRHP Nomination Form


"4. 407 South Broadway, circa 1898. This house was built in 1898 for Dr. J.D. and Alice Brummall for $2,000. According to family records, master carpenters Matt Hurt and John Hurry worked on the construction. Brummall, a Salisbury doctor, and his wife had two sons, Clarence and Harold. After the death of Dr. Brummall in 1928, his widow converted the house into four apartments. She lived there until her death in the 1950s and the house passed to Harold, the surviving son. According to written reminiscences by Harold Brummall, the house was the first in Salisbury to have a furnace and the third to have electric lights.6 The Brummall family owned the house until the mid-1960s." ~ NRHP Nomination Form


"The Salisbury Square Historic District encompasses nine houses located along South Broadway between 4th and 6th Streets in Salisbury, Chariton County, Missouri. Eight of the houses are on the west side of Broadway, and one house is on the east side. The District has one non-contributing house and six noncontributing garages. The District is located one block south of Salisbury’s downtown on a block platted as Salisbury Square with the founding of the town in 1867. The contributing houses include Salisbury’s most intact cluster of Victorian-era houses. These buildings illustrate the spectrum of the Queen Anne architectural style constructed between the late 1800s thru the early 1900s, as well as historically significant alterations to these dwellings. While all of the contributing houses exhibit elements of the Queen Anne style, they range from simple footprints and restrained ornament to more elaborate designs for decoration and massing. Built for Salisbury’s merchant class, the dwellings reflect building trends popular during the town’s most important era of growth.

"The houses within the District occupy city lots of various widths, all oriented toward Broadway. The grade of each lot is level with the sidewalk. Concrete front walks connect each house to the public sidewalk on each side of Broadway. Mature deciduous trees line the grass easement strips that separate the yards from Broadway. Vacated alleys run behind each property.

"The neighborhood surrounding the District grew out of land donated to the City of Salisbury by town founder Lucius Salisbury. Individuals built single-family houses in the neighborhood sporadically during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The nominated properties reflect this organic development. Nearby houses include simple vernacular dwellings, grand late-Victorians, 1920s Tudor Revivals and Bungalows, and 1950s Commercial buildings. Within these diverse surroundings, the Salisbury Square Historic District retains a distinct connection to its 1870-1916 period of development with architecture that reflects its period of significance.

"The District extends from 4th Street to 6th Street along the west side and Broadway and includes one property on the east side of the street on the northeast corner of 5th Street and Broadway. The boundaries reflect a collection of intact Queen Anne houses that remain notable in form and design." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
