Historic District
Awarded a National Historic designation in 2007, the Court Street Historic Residential District begins on 10th Street and continues to Fulton's historic downtown. The tree-lined streets compliment 83 homes of varying architectural styles, many of which were designed by a prominent Missouri architect and Fulton resident, M.F. Bell, and remind us of a time when life was much less hectic.
Bellcast gable; asbestos shingles;
Was divided into apartments; Pettits added paneling in living
room, repapered dining room and put in suspended ceilings.
Exposed rafters, stone porch, central chimney near the back, primarily a bellcast gable roof, however other types are visible, transom light over entrance; decorative shutters; shed type dormers; rubble stone porch and porch supports.
Mr. Pettit purchased the house about 3 years ago. Mr. Pettit is a teacher if [sic] Fulton High School, Kay Pettit works at the State Historical Society in Columbia.
This house is and interesting example of he bungalow style of architecture in Fulton and should be preserved." ~ Fulton Historic Survey part 2, page 895
