Elijah Thomas Webb Residence
Elijah Thomas Webb Residence, Victorian residence in Webb City, United States.
The Elijah Thomas Webb Residence is a three-story brick building in Victorian style located at 4 South Liberty Street, distinguished by its slate-clad hip roof, multiple gables, and a polygonal tower on the front elevation. The exterior displays features from various architectural traditions, while the interior retains original wood block flooring arranged in geometric patterns.
The building was constructed in 1891 and belonged to Elijah Thomas Webb, son of Webb City founder John Webb. The family played a central role in the town's early economic development.
The residence shows how successful 19th-century business owners displayed their wealth and status through elaborate architectural design. The blend of multiple styles reflects the tastes and ambitions that shaped the town's most prominent families.
The residence is easily accessible, being located on a central street in town with clear visibility from the road. Visitors can appreciate the architecture from outside, where the brick facade and towers make the strongest visual impression.
The limestone foundation rises about 5 feet (1.5 meters) above ground level, creating a striking visual base for the structure. This unusually tall base was both practical and aesthetic, showing a deliberate design choice by the builder.
