This Prairie School style house on Fountain Avenue is so interesting to me! I love the way it sits on the lot and overlooks the park. It is mentioned in the National Register of Historic Places and noted for its trapezoidal shape, which is bent to fit the curve of Fountain Avenue.

According to documentation from the Fountain Avenue revitalization plan, it is “a turn of the century schoolhouse now being utilized as a single family dwelling.”

Murray has stolen my heart once again! 😩💙

Located at 103 North Sixth Street in Murray, the Will Linn house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The house was built in 1899-1900 and was originally situated on the northwest corner of Main and Sixth Streets. It was moved to the rear of the lot in 1929 when a gas station was built on the corner site. It was one of the first three houses in Murray to have water pumped into the kitchen.

The Linn house was home to Murray Art Guild for more than three decades. While it has been thoroughly updated to suit modern tastes, some original elements like pocket doors, transom windows, door k***s, a paneled oak staircase, and a massive built-in oak cabinet remained at the time it last sold (per my Zillow peeping). This house has been through a lot—a reminder that no historic house or district can stand the test of time without funding and prioritization.

Dear Whoever Lives Here,
Can I please buy your house?
Sincerely,
Me. 💌

Just kidding (mostly). But on a serious note, it’s almost hard to believe these two photos are the same gorgeous bungalow!

Finally made it out of the house after being sick for what felt like an eternity 🙃 Anyway, not trying to start a controversy but you know what I’m about to say about Whitehaven… 🚫⚪️🎨

Completed in around 1865, originally the Anderson house was a simple, two story Victorian farmhouse. Its second owner completed extensive remodeling
including the addition of the two-story Corinthian porch. This period is when it was painted white and named “Whitehaven.”

So yes, the white paint may be an important part of the house we all know and love… I just think bare brick looks better 🤷🏻‍♀️
