    The Floweree residence has long since been demolished, but originally sat right next door to another Barber designed house, the John T. Murphy residence.  I am still trying to uncover more photos of the Floweree residence, so if you know of any, please add a comment to this post. Thank you.

    The Murphy residence is another stellar example of Barber’s very popular design 25 from the “Modern Dwellings” series of pattern books.  Murphy was a cattleman & rancher, but his house now serves as a wonderful house museum and function venue. The interior of this house is as spectacular as the exterior. There was another Barber design built right next door to the Murphy residence, but that home was lost to the ravages of time. Irma, please stay away!
