409 8th St.

 

          The brick residence was built by Louis Gantner pre-1910 with scraps from 726 E. Spring.  The structure show local influences of both the Missouri German and Queen Anne styles.   The projecting ell to the southeast is balanced by a raised porch with Eastlake posts and brackets on the northeast.  The entrance to the east has a transom and a flat rowlock header.  To the west is a pent roofed addition and an open pent roofed porch.  There is a pent roofed frame outbuilding to the southwest of the residence which faces east onto a gravel cul-de-sac where 8th St. dead-ends.
