NRHP Nomination Form"The Prairie School is perhaps the dominate architectural influence in the district. Most of the homes influenced by Prairie styling are located on South Main. The best representation is the J.J. Culbertson House of 1921 (CS Site No. 43, Photo 45) at 528 South Main, designed by A.J. Knapp of Tulsa, Oklahoma. This house is exquisitely detailed and is strongly evocative of earlier work of Sullivan and Wright. This stucco structure with cast-stone detailing has the characteristic flat roof with deep, overhanging eaves which accentuates the horizontal dimension. The interior is historically intact, has excellent woodwork, and features a basement swimming pool.
