Sennett and Bertha Kirk House, Colonial Revival residence in Garnett, United States.
The Sennett and Bertha Kirk House is a wooden residential building spanning two and a half floors that blends Colonial Revival and Queen Anne architectural styles. Its exterior and interior design showcase characteristics typical of both traditions.
Built in 1914 for banker Sennett Kirk and his wife Bertha, the house reflects the economic growth of Garnett during the early 1900s. It documents the town's development during a period of municipal expansion.
The dining room holds murals by local artist Paul Nordstrum showing Anderson County landscapes, which add regional artistic value to the building's architectural heritage.
The house is located at 145 West 4th Avenue and operates as a bed and breakfast for overnight stays. Visitors should check in advance about accessibility and which areas can be toured.
The original design comes from architect George P. Washburn, whose work had a formative influence on many buildings in Kansas during the early 1900s. His style is clearly visible in the fine details of this structure.
