District Map

Usually I brag on the Missouri nomination forms, and how detailed they are with individual properties in a historic district. But this district is not one of those. There are no individual listings, only the map controls contributing or not.

This one story Missouri-German home, it is said, was built in the 20th Century, in the 1940's. I can never confirm or deny the statement. It was designed and built to fit in with the other structures on S Main St., n which are several of these one story brick structures on this style.
One story brick with two doors, as if it was a duplex, with 6/6 windows on the front facade. All doors and windows have transoms of brick on edge forming a semi-arch. Single chimney on the north edge of the roof. There is also a brick short wall out front, with a white picket fence mounted on it, and twin square brick columns on each c=side of the entrance walkaway.

"The structures on South Main Street are aligned, with facades adjacent to the sidewalk and ridge roofs commonly sharing the sane northeast-southwest orientation as South Main Street. Characteristically the structures are 1½ to 2½ stories high with a rectangular plan front block and rear ell additions. The ridge roofs of the front sections are oriented parallel to the street passing in front. Chimneys" are centered on the vertical midlines of the gable end walls. In several examples adjacent structures have their gable end walls abutted. The structures were built for commercial and/or residential occupancy. The two story structures typically have living quarters located above the street level businesses." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
