This house is also a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, and a 1994 Texas Historical Marker up front provides some background:
Prominent Amarillo architect Guy A. Carlander designed this dramatic Craftsman "airplane bungalow" for the Clarence M. Eakle family. Built in 1923, it features a "cockpit-like" upper floor and sweeping multiple gable roofs. Flared oriental and arts and crafts eaves and brackets are enhanced by various facade materials: brick, stucco, river stone, and native Alibates flint. Rancher and oilman Sam B. Archer and family bought the house in 1926 and resided here until 1945.
