Elijah Thomas Webb Residence

The three-story brick building features a slate-clad hip roof, multiple gables, and a polygonal tower on the front elevation of the structure.

Built in 1891, the residence belonged to Elijah Thomas Webb, son of Webb City founder John Webb, who established the Webb City Bank in 1882.

The residence incorporates architectural elements from Queen Anne, Italianate, Romanesque, and Eastlake styles, representing the design preferences of successful 19th-century entrepreneurs.

Located at 4 South Liberty Street, the building maintains its original wood carpet flooring made from individual wooden blocks arranged in geometric patterns.

The limestone foundation rises five feet above grade, while contrasting bullnose corner bricks create distinctive faux quoining on the exterior walls.
