Communications Received
New Business
A. Section 106 Review -1214 W. High Street
Ms. Senzee explained that the Section 106 Review is for a Community Development Block
Grant applicant. The applicant has applied for emergency repair assistance to install stormwater
control methods to prevent further erosion. Since the repair will use federal dollars, a Section
106 Review must be completed. Ms. Senzee explained that the repairs will have little alteration
to the structure itself. Ms. Senzee explained that the Historic Preservation Commission must
review and determine the potential impact on historic resources.
Ms. Patterson motioned and Mr. Wheat seconded to approve that adequate documentation has
been provided and there will be no historic properties affected by the project and is approved by
the commission. The motion passed unanimously.
Other Business
A. Historic Preservation Code Revision Committee Update
Ms. Senzee explained that the Historic Preservation Code Revision Committee reviewed a draft
section of code that staff had written which focused on the procedure of designations. Ms.
Senzee stated the committee is tasked with identifying how much notarized property owner's
signatures are needed for the designation. Currently, the code requires 75% of property owners
to sign off, however, the committee will decide if that is the adequate number of signatures and
they will recommend a change in percentage if needed.
Ms. Senzee stated that there was a discussion about the Foot Historic District. Ms. Senzee
explained that the Foot is not a codified historic district, but rather it was proclaimed a historic
district in 2016. Ms. Senzee explained that the committee members discussed ways of how to
preserve the history that doesn't exist anymore. The Historic Preservation Code Revision
Committee meeting is on September 2, 2021, at 6 pm.
B. Historic Preservation Fund Grant -Awards
Ms. Senzee explained that the City received the award documents for the West Main Street;
Lower Jefferson Subdivision and Waterworks Complex Architectural Survey/Historic Survey and
the Historic East Resurvey. Ms. Senzee explained that the City will hire a consultant to complete
the survey work.
C. Historic Preservation Fund Grant -Open
Ms. Senzee explained that the next round of Historic Preservation Fund grants is now open. Ms.
Senzee stated that City staff has identified design guidelines and further survey work as two
possible projects, but the City is open to any suggestions or ideas. Ms. Senzee explained that
design guidelines could help explain components of the historic preservation code. The design
guidelines could help with already established local historic districts. Ms. Senzee explained that
eligible Historic Preservation Fund grant projects include; surveys, national register
nominations, planning activities, Certified Local Government activities, or predevelopment
projects. Ms. Senzee explained that the application is due October 15, 2021.
Ms. Patterson asked if the timing would be right for the design guidelines because of the code
revision project that is ongoing. Mr. Berendzen thought that pursuing design guidelines good be
beneficial to correlate with the code revisions. Ms. Deetz concurred and thought design
guidelines would be a good project to follow the code revisions. The Historic Preservation
Commission will report back with their final thoughts at the next regular meeting.
Ms. Senzee stated that a Resolution will be needed and it will be on the agenda for the
September 14th Historic Preservation Commission meeting.
D. National Alliance of Preservation Commissions Summer Short Course Virtual -August 24-

Name of multiple listing (if applicable)
Summary: The Frank Miller Green Berry Road Historic District includes three houses and their
associated outbuildings, located at 1427, 1431 and 1503 Green Berry Road in Jefferson City,
Missouri. The district encompasses 9.74 acres and contains three residential houses and
eleven contributing secondary structures and landscape features (Figures 3 and 4). The district
is located southeast of Jefferson City's downtown (Figure 2), about a block past the eastern end
of the Moreau Drive Historic District (Figure 16). Originally built on farmland, the district is in a
residential neighborhood built on either side of Green Berry Road, which follows a ridgeline.
The topography is somewhat rolling, with 1427 Green Berry (McHenry House) located at the
highest point in the district, sloping to 1431 Green Berry (Dewey House) in the center of the
district and then to 1503 Green Berry (Nacy House) at the southern end of the district. All of the
houses are large, with the McHenry House being a two -and -a -half story Craftsman style house
built of native stone. The Dewey House is also built of native stone, a two -and -a -half story
Bungalow. The Nacy House is frame, with two stories built in the Colonial Revival style having
Classical details. All three houses have integrity, retaining their original form, including
fenestration patterns and porches on the front or sides. There are fourteen contributing
buildings and landscape features, plus five non-contributing resources: one garage with a newer
roof and siding, one stand-alone deck and three landscape objects. The period of significance is
the year the first house was constructed in 1908 through completion of the third house in 1910
and reflects the area of significance under Criteria C for Architecture. The houses were
designed by local architect Frank Miller, built as residential dwellings with continued use as
residences to the present. The Frank Miller Green Berry Road Historic District is locally
significant and eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria C in
the area of ARCHITECTURE.
Elaboration
Setting — Geographical Description
The Frank Miller Green Berry Road Historic District is located at a bend in Green Berry Road,
southeast of downtown Jefferson City, Missouri. (Figure 2) Moreau Drive splits into Hough Park
Road and Green Berry Road at the southern end of the Moreau Drive National Register Historic
District, one block northwest of the district (Figure 16).1 Green Berry Road was formerly a
county road, and meanders along a ridge from the split on Moreau Drive to the Moreau River.
Land in this area was never platted as a subdivision, apparently developed as single lots facing
the road carved out of farmland (Figure 6). Behind the district and its neighbors on the east
side of Green Berry Road remains a considerable amount of undeveloped land, extending
almost all the way to Seven Hills Road, which intersects with Green Berry Road two blocks
south of the district.
Setting — Inside the Boundary
The Frank Miller Green Berry Road Historic District is distinct from its neighbors due to these
three houses being older, therefore built using designs typical of earlier architectural eras and
1 In Jefferson City, most buildings face the Missouri River, so the fagade facing the river is typically
known as "north" even though this may be more correctly "northwest." A navigational map in Figure 1
shows north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west and northwest as used in this nomination
to aid the reader.

due to the larger sizes of these houses and their lots. Part of the district is visually prominent in
the neighborhood, due to 1427 and 1431 Green Berry being built at an elevation several feet
above the road, with 1427 facing the road before it bends, therefore being visible for some
distance to travelers headed east on Green Berry Road (Photo 1). Built within a short timeframe
(1908 — 1910) and all designed by the same architect, these houses have similarities in overall
size, setback and spacing between them yet vary in their individual designs. The district's
topography is gently rolling, with 1427 Green Berry (McHenry House) located at the highest
point in the district, sloping to 1503 Green Berry (Nacy House) and a steeply sloped vacant lot
across from 1431 Green Berry (Dewey House) in the center of the district. The houses are set
on top of the ridge, with setbacks of approximately 50 feet for the Dewey and Nacy houses and
100 feet for the McHenry house. Due to Green Berry Road curving in front of the McHenry
house, the three houses are somewhat aligned despite the different setbacks. While the
topography in the area is somewhat rolling, Green Berry Road is fairly flat within the district as it
follows a ridge, with two of the houses at a higher elevation than the road. The streetcar system
in Jefferson City began in 1911,3 after these houses were built, so their owners depended on
cars for transportation and all had garages for automobile storage. The district's boundary is
irregular as it follows the property lot lines, which lots are of different sizes and shapes. All three
houses have large yards, with the McHenry house having 212 feet of road frontage and 5.79
acres, the Dewey house's frontage being 180 feet on 2.50 acres and the Nacy house having
192 feet of frontage and 1.45 acres, most of the land located to the rear of the houses. The land
associated with the McHenry house extends behind its neighbors at 1423 and 1421 Green
Berry Road.
All three houses have large yards. A number of outbuildings and landscape features are located
mostly in the rear yards (Figure 4). The McHenry House has a stone four -car garage and a
vertically sided frame shed to the west, a stone shed near the center of the rear yard and a
frame shed roofed structure adjacent to a masonry wall that extends the width of the house and
garage in the rear yard. These are contributing resources, while a small circular paved area and
concrete pad with basketball goal are not included in the resource count. The Dewey House has
a former dairy barn east of the house and a small frame shed to southeast of the house. The
Nacy House is centered on a sunken concrete fountain with statuary, having a six column arbor
to the northwest, a wooden gazebo near the northeast corner of the house and a brick planting
bed with tri -level fountain adjacent to the southeast corner of the house, all contributing
resources. Non-contributing resources include a garage that retains its historic location but has
a modern metal roof and newer siding, a free standing wood deck, small wooden arbor, a newer
metal arbor surrounded by a statue of Neptune and four free standing columns and a small
concrete angel beside a concrete bowl planter. A pair of five-globed post lamps are not included
in the resource count, as they may or may not be historic and are small in scale. Driveways
appear unchanged from the period of significance, as all three houses have tear -drop shaped
turnarounds as part of their driveways (Figure 3). One original sidewalk remains from the Dewey
House to Green Berry Road.

A block of houses built primarily between 1923 and 1957 is located between the Moreau Drive
National Register district and the proposed district (Figure 16). Two houses were built later,
1426 Green Berry Road in 1960 and 1423 Green Berry Road in 1971, these being the closest
houses to 1427 Green Berry.4 The lot across the street from the Dewey House is steeply sloped
and undeveloped, located in the bend of the road. The block of houses south of the proposed
district were primarily constructed between 1940 and 1957, with one house at 1507 Green Berry
Road adjacent to the Nacy House built in 1978.5 From the date of construction to 1960 — 1978
the district was separated from the surrounding houses by vacant lots. Behind the houses on
the west side of Green Berry is the Moreau Heights neighborhood, built in the 196056
surrounding Major, Kolb and Isom Drives and abutting Hough Park Road. Two to three houses
east of the district, Green Berry turns and Dixon Drive splits to the southwest, with houses built
in the 195057.
Individual Descriptions
The individual descriptions in this section utilize those included in the final Moreau Heights
neighborhood survey by Michelle Diedriech and Rebecca Prater (on file at the State Historic
Preservation Office ).8 The McHenry House is distinctly Craftsman in style,9 with its locally
quarried stone walls, cross gabled roof, large enclosed front porch, a porte-cochere to one side
and hefty brackets at the eaves. The Dewey House is a bungalow that exhibits a Craftsman
influence, being similar in overall shape, style and use of natural materials to a Gustav Stickley
design published in The Craftsman in February 190510 (Figure 5). The Nacy House is built in the
Colonial Revival style with Classical detailing,11 having a trio of archways centered over the
recessed entrance with keystones, supported by paired Doric columns. Multi -light French doors
with multi -light transoms provide entry and two one-story side porches with Doric columns open
onto the landscaped yard.

The McHenry House at 1427 Green Berry Road is an imposing two -and -a -half stone Craftsman
style house (Photos 1 — 2, 4 — 7).12 As the road curves in front of this house, it does not directly
face the road but faces northwest, so that visitors traveling toward the house on Green Berry
Road can view the house for some distance before arriving. (Photo 1) A wide central front gable
is bracketed by wide returns that wrap from the cross gable wings that extend one bay on the
north and south sides of the house. A 4/1 window is centered in the gable's peak. All windows
are replacements, covered by modern storms. The windows have multi -light "divisions" that
appear somewhat flat, which could be snap -in muntins or taped. A pair of 4/1 windows matching
the width of the window above are located on the second floor (Photo 5). Below this window a
hipped roof covers the wrap-around front porch, which extends one bay on both the north and
south sides (Photos 4 and 5). The porch has been enclosed with a set of three 1/1 windows on
either side of the entry. The large entry has two sets of sidelights — two wide single pane
sidelights with paneling below equal the width of the door are flanked by narrower single pane
sidelights without paneling beneath (Photo 4). On either side of the entry there are narrow strip
single pane windows having brackets on either side. Brackets on the front porch of this house
no longer reach the gutter above. It appears that a decorative vertical board once filled this
space but has been removed, based on existence of such a board on the south gable (Figure 7,
Photo 5). The porch retains its stone piers and half walls. The porch on the south side of the
house is also enclosed. On the north side, set back from the front of the house is a porte-
cochere featuring a side gabled roof and battered stone piers. West of the house is a stone four
car garage and a vertically sided frame shed 13 (Figure 4). A long curving driveway extends from
the northwest corner of the lot to a teardrop shaped loop ending between the house and
garage, with a spur extending from the top of the loop to the northeast. Northeast of this spur is
a concrete pad with basketball hoop. In the rear yard is a small stone structure with a gabled
roof (Photo 6). A frame shed roofed structure is located on the east side of a masonry wall that
extends the width of the house and garage in the rear yard, extending toward the house on the
north side (Photo 7). The wall may be stone parged with concrete, as there is stone exposed on
the section extending toward the house. The shed roof structure is currently being used as a
chicken house and has a four panel door on the south side. A deck on the rear of the house is
supported by five square stone columns that match the house (Photo 6). At the southeast
corner of the deck is a circular terrace edged in modern landscape blocks. All four of the
outbuildings and masonry wall were present in 196014 and are contributing resources (Figure 5).
The circular terrace and concrete pad with basketball hoop are more recent and are not
included in the resource count as they are minor landscape features (Figure 4). The lot is mostly
open with a number of large trees, becoming wooded north of the garage (Figures 3 and 4).

The Dewey House at 1431 Green Berry Road is located off -center to the north side of its lot,
facing the same direction as the neighboring McHenry House (Figure 4, Photos 1 and 2). The
house is a two -and -a -half -story stone Bungalow with a steeply pitched side gable roof and three
bays, featuring three hipped roof dormers with low knee walls at the outer corner of each
window and 12/1 original windows with white metal storms (Photo 8). A full front porch with
stone half walls is covered by the gabled roof and supported by square stone piers, framing the
central original single pane wood door with storm, multi -pane side lights and multi -pane
transom. Two large historic 18/1 windows with thick stone lintels flank the entry. All windows,
doors and transoms on the front and south side are original, with modern storms. Stone
chimneys on either side are flush with the exterior stone walls and rise through the roof (Photo
2). The dormers and side walls above the first floor's stone walls are covered with vinyl siding.
Behind the house is a former dairy barn with frame walls covered in a roll siding material, grey in
color and marked in a faux coursed stone pattern (Photo 9). The barn's gambrel roof is covered
by historic corrugated metal sheeting, which exhibits rust on over half of the roof. The lower
edge of the roof is flared outward. An earthen ramp provides at grade access to the three doors
on the west wall facing the house, including two large bays, the size of garage doors or larger,
with a single entry to the north near the center of the wall. A small wooden shed is located
behind and south of the house (Photo 10). Clad in historic narrow wood siding painted brick red,
the corners, eaves, windows and doors are trimmed in flat wood boards painted a bright yellow.
The roof is rusty corrugated metal. The door is on the north side, with gable ends located on the
north and south walls. A historic sidewalk extends from the center of the front porch to the road
(Figures 3 and 4). From the southern boundary, a driveway curves toward the house and forms
a teardrop shaped loop, edged on the interior by flower beds. An open space extends from
between the barn and the shed toward the rear, extending nearly to the eastern lot line, with
woods on either side. A few large trees are located in the front, south side and rear yard but
their limbs do not extend to the ground, leaving the yard fairly open. All of these outbuildings
and landscape features were present in 196015 (Figure 5). The house, barn and frame shed are
contributing resources.

c. 1910
Architectural Style: Colonial Revival with Classical details Roof Material: Asphalt Shingle
Ext. wall cladding: vinyl siding
Foundation material: concrete Roof Type: Hipped
The Nacy House is located off -center to the south of its lot, facing Green Berry Road. (Figures 3
and 4; Photos 3, 11 and 12) The wide two-story frame house has seven bays and is centered
on a circular sunken fountain on the west side of a semi -circular driveway (Photo 14). The
fountain features statues of dolphins and of Venus. Topped by a hipped roof with two brick
chimneys at either end, the front walls are sided in narrow width vinyl siding and have seven 6/1
original windows with storms on the second floor (Photo 11). The first floor is centered on a set
of triple arches with keystones, with the center arch supported by paired Doric columns (Photo
13). The center three bays are recessed behind the archways, having a multi -light French door
entry flanked by paired doors with wood multi -light storms, all three having a multi -light transom.
Two tall 8/12 windows are located on either side of the center bays. A concrete pad extends

from the archways toward the fountain, with square concrete piers near the outer edges
connected to the house by a short row of concrete balusters (Photo 11). Large low concrete
bowl planters are located at the outer corners of the concrete pad. On either side of and
extending forward of the house are one-story flat roofed porches having wide overhanging
eaves, exposed rafter tails and a large boxed entablature supported by Doric columns,
connected by wood railings (Photos 11 and 12). A stone griffin guards the outer corner of each
porch. A pair of large five globed post lights in the front yard may or may not be historic (Photo
14). A low row of clipped hedges surrounds the outside of the fountain and extends to the north
and south, and evergreens separate the house and the driveway. Near the northwest corner of
the property is an arbor with three pairs of columns with a planting bed at one side of its base
edged with rocks (Photo 15). The semi -circular driveway splits just past this arbor, extending to
a large tear -drop shaped drive connecting to the frame garage in the rear yard (Figure 4). The
garage is shown in the 1960 aerial (Figure 5) and remains in the same location but has been
substantially renovated, with a modern metal roof and siding, so is a non-contributing resource
(Photo 19). Near the northeast corner of the house is a gazebo with a moss -covered wood
shingle roof, exposed rafter tails and rectangular lattice walls, sheltering two wood slat benches
inside (Photo 16). Just east of a porch on the rear or east side of the house is a square raised
brick planting bed with a three -tiered fountain in the center (Photo 17). A small wooden arbor of
recent vintage is in the rear yard, at the end of a short pathway flanked by small planting beds, a
non-contributing resource (Photo 18). Inside the teardrop loop of the driveway is a small seating
area with concrete paving stones, covered by an open modern metal gazebo, a concrete statue
of Neptune to the north and four fluted columns in a semi -circle at the rear, a pair of white
concrete urns flanking the gazebo's entrance. This area has more of a modern aesthetic and is
considered non-contributing (Photo 20). A raised wooden deck is located between the gazebo
and the raised brick planting bed, with high wood fencing on the north and south sides and a
wood railing on the east side, a non-contributing resource (Photo 21). A large angel statue that
was present at the time of the Moreau Drive Neighborhood Survey was removed by a family
member of a previous owner. This has been replaced by a smaller angel statue and a low
unpainted concrete bowl shaped planter which is non-contributing (Photo 22). The rear of the
property is wooded and a number of large trees are scattered throughout the yard closer to the
house. The house and garage are visible on the 1960 aerial map16 (Figure 5). The house,
fountain in the front yard, arbor with six columns, wood gazebo and the brick planting bed with
three -tiered fountain are contributing resources. The garage, small arbor, deck, seating area
with modern metal gazebo, Neptune statue and fluted columns and the small angel with
concrete bowl planter are non-contributing resources.
Integrity
Setting
The district's setting remains largely unchanged since the time of construction. The path and
elevation of Green Berry Road remains unchanged from its days as a county road. Most of the
houses between the district and the Moreau Drive Historic District were constructed between
1923 and 1957, with two houses built in 1960 and 1971.17 The more recent houses, while

located near the McHenry House do not face the same direction due to the bend in Green Berry
Road and are a considerable distance from the McHenry House, so are not a disruptive
influence on the district (Figures 3 and 4). The lot across the street from the Dewey House is
steeply sloped and remains undeveloped, located in the bend of the road. The block of houses
south of the proposed district were primarily constructed between 1940 and 1957, with one
house adjacent to the Nacy House built in 1978.18 Trees separate this house from the Nacy
House, so its age is not a disruptive influence. Lands to the rear or east remain undeveloped,
with no new houses visible to the rear of the district. Homes on the opposite side of Green Berry
Road are built at a lower elevation and are over fifty years old, so do not greatly disrupt the
setting. The setting remains much the same as when the homes were constructed.
Houses
The three houses remain true to their original design by architect Frank Miller. There have been
changes over time, but these are not major alterations and do not detract from the homes'
historic character. On the McHenry House, the front porch has been enclosed with 1/1 windows,
but the stone piers and half walls remain, so this enclosure does not significantly alter the
appearance of the house. The windows are replacements but an attempt has been made to
reflect the original muntin design. It appears a wood board hanging vertically from the eaves of
the front porch has been removed, so that the brackets on the porch no longer connect to the
eaves (Figure 7). The Dewey House has vinyl siding on the dormers and on the side walls
above the first floor stone walls. Almost all of the original windows remain (all on the front and
more visible south fagade are original), protected by metal storm windows. At the Nacy House,
vinyl siding has been added, but the siding has narrow horizontal lines so is less distracting than
if each "plank" was wider. All of the windows on the front of the house are original, protected by
modern storms. The general layout of the properties remains much the same, with outbuildings
and driveways appearing as they were in 196019 (Figure 5). While a few landscape features
have been added more recently to the Nacy House, these are largely located behind the house,
are mostly small in scale and do not detract from its architectural character. The garage has a
newer roof and siding but is in the rear yard at a lower elevation, retaining its historic location
and does not negatively impact the character of the property. The multi-globed post lamps in the
front yard may or may not be historic, but have a vintage appearance and are small in scale.
Overall, the houses and their related outbuildings remain largely as when they were
constructed, retaining their historic location and setting. The houses retain their features from
architect Frank Miller's original designs and exhibit original materials and workmanship. The
physical features of the houses and outbuildings convey feelings and associations related to
their historic functions and the period when they were constructed.

Summary: The Frank Miller Green Berry Road Historic District located at 1427, 1431 and 1503
Green Berry Road in Jefferson City, Missouri is locally significant and is eligible for listing on the
National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C in the area of Architecture. The period of
significance relates to the period of construction of these houses, from 1908 to 1910. The
district represents three designs by Jefferson City architect Frank Miller in an area that was
semi -rural at the time of construction. The location of these houses at a turn on Green Berry
Road, the elevation of two houses above the road, their large size, large lots and period
architectural designs distinguish these houses from the surrounding neighborhood, which was
largely built during the 1920s — 1950s. The district contains an excellent example of the
Craftsman style, a bungalow influenced by the Craftsman style and a Colonial Revival stye
house with Classical details. A number of historic outbuildings and landscape features
associated with the houses remain intact. Besides these three houses, only three other
residential designs by Frank Miller are known to remain in Jefferson City.
Narrative:
Jefferson City Historical Context
Jefferson City was selected as Missouri's state capitol by the legislature in 1821, the least
developed location of any considered with only two families in residence by 1823.20 Lots were
laid out by Daniel Morgan Boone, son of the famous frontiersman.21 The initial southern city limit
was at Atchison Street22 (Figure 8). The city grew slowly, remaining in the lower, more level
areas with development parallel to the Missouri River. In addition to the hilly terrain, the city was
hampered first by efforts by other Missouri cities to wrest the state capitol designation from
Jefferson City then by the Civil War. Growth began to occur after 1900 with the expansion of
state government23 and replacement of the capitol building after it burned in 1911.24
Neighborhood Development Context
When the houses in the district were built, Green Berry Road was a rural county road, and the
nearest development large enough to be included in the Sanborn Map of 1908 was Lincoln
University at E. Dunklin and Lafayette Streets, a mile away.25 The area depicted in detail on the
1908 Sanborn Map generally did not yet extend as far south as Atchison Street26 (Figure 9).
Frank Miller described the Dewey House as a "Country Residence" on his designs (Figure 11).
Introduction of the streetcar in 1911 facilitated development in the nearby Moreau Drive
neighborhood, with service extending to Moreland Avenue (Figure 16). Houses in this district

were built without access to public transit, 27 so their owners depended on cars for transportation
and all had garages for automobile storage. The Wagner Place subdivision began to sell lots on
Moreau Drive, Fairmount Boulevard, Oakwood Drive and Fairmount Court in 1913.28 Yet no
listing for residences on Moreau Drive or Green Berry Road are shown in the 1915 city
directory. Development in the area was still so sparse that the Sanborn Map from 1939 did not
provide details for the district29 (Figure 10), even though the Sanborn map did show the Wagner
Place and Fairmount Place subdivisions and a few more houses were built on Green Berry
Road in the 1920s and 1930s.30 Similarly, lots on Green Berry Road were just beginning to
show on a map of Jefferson City dating to 194331 (Figures 6 and 10). Green Berry Road
remained a County Road until after 1943. Even as late as 1951, city directories did not list
house numbers for houses in the district, only listing owners' names and sometimes an "ws" for
west side or "es" for east side of the road.32 Street names changed and house numbers appear
to have been changed several times, as Houck McHenry is shown as living at 1313 Moreau
Drive in 1925 and at 1315 Moreau Drive in 1933 and 1935. Richard Nacy is listed in his obituary
as living at 1437 Green Berry Road, while the current address for his house is 1503.33 Green
Berry Road is not included in the directories until after 1943, instead in 1943 there is a reference
to Moreau Drive continuing to the city limits, which were located about a block past the district
(Figures 6 and 10). Development occurred in the 1960s behind the houses on the west side of
Green Berry with the Moreau Heights neighborhood encompassing Major, Kolb and Isom Drives
and abutting Hough Park Road (Figure 16). Two to three houses east of the district, Green
Berry turns and Dixon Drive splits to the southwest, with houses on Dixon built in the 1950s.34
This area was farmland when the district began to develop, and Houck McHenry acquired part
of Outlot 106 from William D'Oench in August of 1907 and Outlot 107 and part of Outlot 109
from William J. Edwards in January of 1908. McHenry paid $7,000 for part of Outlot 106 and
$3,600 for the remaining tract.35 Ann Dewey bought the land where 1431 Green Berry Road is
located from Houck McHenry and recorded the deed on November 22, 1907.36 Ann Dewey
purchased an additional four acres in the southwest corner of Outlot 107 from Houck McHenry
in February 1908.37 The Deweys had their architect Frank Miller draw up plans for the house,
which are dated March 1908.38 Ann Dewey sold part of Outlots 106 and 107 (about four acres)

to Waller W. Graves in June, 1910, corresponding to the construction date of 1910 for 1503
Green Berry Road. Houck McHenry built his house in 191039 and sold land to Waller Graves in
June, 1912, part of Outlot 109. Charles Dewey sold 8.75 acres to Houck McHenry in December
of 1923, part of Outlot 107.40 The boundary for the district includes property historically
associated with the three houses and all the property currently associated with the houses at
1427, 1431 and 1503 Green Berry Road.
District Owners
The district's owners not only sold land to each other but had other connections as well, as the
owners were active in the community, in local politics and in their churches. Houck McHenry's
son Foster B. McHenry built a house nearby, likely 1421 Green Berry, built in 1920,41 as Foster
McHenry is listed as living at 1311 Moreau Drive in 1929 while Houck McHenry is listed as
owning 1313 Moreau Drive .42 Foster moved into Houck McHenry's home after his parents'
deaths in 1943. Judge Jim McHenry, Foster's son, lived in the home until his death in 2003,
when the property passed to his nephew Thomas McHenry. Thomas' children were the fifth
generation of McHenrys to live in the house43 until it was sold in 2016.44 Houck McHenry was
one of the founders of the Capital City Telephone Company in 1900 and served as president
until his death in 1936. He was active in local Democratic politics, serving 15 years on the
school board, two terms on the City Council and two terms as president of the Commercial
Club, now Chamber of Commerce. Houck McHenry was a trustee for years at First Baptist
Church .45 Houck was succeeded at the phone company by his son Foster, who served as
president from 1943 until his retirement in 1968. Foster was very active in the community and
was one of the original planners of Memorial Hospital, helping raise funds for its construction.
Foster was a member of the finance committee at First Baptist Church.46
Charles Dewey grew up in Jefferson City as the son of the county engineer. He became an
insurance salesman in 1902 and in 1909 purchased two thousand acres of farm land on the
Osage River47 where he raised Hereford cattle.48 As a member of the local Boy Scout Council,
Mr. Dewey selected and surveyed the site for Camp Maries and supervised construction of the
lodge on that site, using funds he collected from community members.49 Both Charles and Ann

in Democratic politics, serving for twelve years as secretary of the Cole County Committee. He
was Official Reporter of the Missouri State Senate for twelve years. In 1922 he ran for Congress
in the Eighth Missouri District and was defeated in the primary by Mrs. Luella St. Clair Moss of
Boone County. Another attempt in 1932 was not successful.51 By 1925 the Deweys had sold
their home to Thomas A. Dunn and his wife Edith, who sold the house to local attorney H.P.
Lauf circa 1935.52 In 1955 the family of Laurence B. Adams, head of the Missouri National
Guard, moved into the home.53 Cathryn Adams graduated from Southeast Missouri State
College with a degree in Business and History. The couple met in college, married at the
Presidio in San Francisco, California and had five children. When the youngest child started
school, Cathryn began working for Dr. A.C. Magill, a State Representative from Cape Girardeau
who shared an office with Representative Warren E. Hearnes. Cathryn worked for Hearnes for
14 years in the House of Representatives, Senate and Governor's Office, retiring in 1973.
Cathryn served on the Cole County Library Board and as a docent at the Governor's Mansion.54
Laurence passed away in 1992 and Catherine Adams owned the home until she sold it to the
current owners in 1997.55
Charles Dewey may have been encouraged to run for office by the owner of the house next
door, Richard R. Nacy. Nacy lived at 1503 Green Berry Rd. and was Missouri's Treasurer from
1933 to 1937.56 He served as treasurer again, filling an uncompleted term by appointment in the
1940s.57 He served as both executive assistant to the Democratic National Chairman during the
Truman administration and as state party chairman. Nacy became president of the Central
Missouri Trust Co. (now Central Bank) in 1955 and continued until his death in 1961. Unlike his
neighbors but like many in Jefferson City, Nacy was Catholic, a member of Immaculate
Conception Church.58 Nacy was active in local politics as well, having served as city clerk and

Frank B. Miller, Architect
Frank B. Miller was born in 1859 in St. Joseph, Missouri, son of Sinclair Miller, state
Representative from Buchanan County. The family was forced to leave St. Joseph due to their
Southern sympathies and moved to live with relatives in Manchester, Missouri. Frank's mother
Margaret Basye Miller died there in 1866, resulting in Frank and his two brothers and a sister
relocating to Jefferson City to live with their aunt, Elizabeth Basye. The family lived in the former
Sunrise Hotel, which had been owned and operated by their grandfather but converted to a
residence before their arrival. This home on Madison St. was across from the Governor's
Mansion, 74 completed in 1871,75 possibly influencing Miller's early interest in architecture .76
Miller became partners with architect Charles Opel by 1904, as the services of "Miller and Opel,
Architects, Jefferson City and Columbia," were advertised in the 1904 — 1905 city directory as
having an office at 201 E. High Street. The 1911 — 1912 directory lists the firm as "Miller, Opel
and Torbitt, Architects," with offices in Jefferson City, Kansas City and Springfield, Missouri .77
Miller designed a number of prominent buildings in Jefferson City, including the Cole County
Courthouse (he may have helped rebuild it after it burned in 1918)78, St. Mary's hospital '79 the
Central Bank building at 238 Madison St., Merchants Bank building at 101 W. High St., St.
Peter's School, 216 Broadway and the Burch-Berendzen Brothers Grocery at 304 E. High
Street. Frank Miller designed houses for a number of community leaders, including Lawrence
Price, Sam Cook, Ada Price, W.A. Dallmeyer, Houck McHenry at 1427 Green Berry Rd., Louis
Lohman (with Charles Opel), the Charles Dewey House at 1431 Green Berry Road, the Richard
Nacy house at 1503 Green Berry Rd. and the Moerschel, Happy and Ramsey houses at 711,
715 and 719 Swifts Highway. In the early 1920s, Miller invented and patented a new type of
school locker80 and moved to Kansas City in 1922 to oversee its manufacture.81 Although his
later years were spent with his children in Pennsylvania and Maryland, Frank Miller was buried
in Woodland Cemetery in Jefferson City.82
Frank Miller Extant Designs
Miller did not work as an architect in Jefferson City his entire career, beginning circa 190083 and
leaving the area in 1922. A number of his commercial and institutional designs remain extant,

but St. Mary's Hospital (1905) was recently demolished. His residential designs have suffered
more losses, as several of the large homes he designed have been replaced by commercial
buildings. The Sam Cook house was demolished to make way for expansion of assisted living
units at Heisinger Bluffs Retirement Community on W. Main Street. Ada Price's house was at
428 Capitol Avenue84, now home to the Missouri Chamber of Commerce building. William A.
Dallmeyer's beautiful home at 600 Capitol Avenue was demolished in December 2019, a victim
of the May 22, 2019 tornado in Jefferson City. Louis Lohman's house on Jefferson Street lost its
turrets in a 1921 fire, then was acquired by the Salvation Army in 1969, who were no longer
using the house in 2000 when it was listed by Missouri Preservation as an endangered
building.85 The house was demolished in the early 2000s. In addition to the proposed district,
the Moerschel, Happy and Ramsey houses at 711, 715 and 719 Swifts Highway are extant as
residential examples of Frank Miller's work as an architect in Jefferson City.
Architectural Character
Unlike some architects that worked to develop a style of architecture they applied to most of
their designs, Frank Miller used architectural styles that were popular at the time and that
satisfied his clients' needs. This is shown in the three houses in the proposed district, as they
each have a different style or shape.
Craftsman Style
The Craftsman style is most evident in the McHenry House at 1427 Green Berry Road. With its
wide overhanging eaves, cross gabled roof, decorative brackets under the eaves and large
porches plus its use of rustic native stone for the walls, this house has features that are typical
of the Craftsman style (Photos 4 and 5). Unlike the more modest bungalows that came later and
are often thought of as representing the Craftsman style, this is a large house, with porches that
connect the house to the outdoors and rustic stone walls that exhibit the use of natural materials
so integral to the Craftsman style. Gustav Stickley wrote that the principles of the Craftsman
style are "simplicity, durability, fitness for life that is to be lived in the house and harmony with its
natural surroundings .1186 Stickley encouraged the use of native stone .87 The stone used in the
McHenry House is believed to have been quarried locally, as Houck McHenry owned a quarry.88
The stone piers and half walls of the house's front porch and battered stone columns of the
porte-cochere are additional features typical of the Craftsman style.89 An example of a
Craftsman style house with cross -gabled roof is shown in Figure 12.
Bungalow
Bungalows were first built in India in the mid -nineteenth century by the British as an easily
constructed, one-story rest house for travelers. Designed to address the country's hot, sunny
climate, the houses were built low to the ground with large porches sheltered by wide
overhanging eaves. The style was not built in America until around 1900. First built in southern
California, where most landmark examples of the style are found, it became a dominant style in

the United States between 1905 and 1930.90 The simplicity of the Bungalow style was a
refreshing departure from the ornate Victorian designs of the past. Essential elements of the
style were simple design, limited decoration and use of natural materials, with a low sloping
gable roof and front porches.91 Approximately one fourth of Bungalow style houses had a side -
gabled roof. Front porches are usually covered by the main roof, possibly with a break in the
roof slope. The side -gabled Bungalow is most typical in the Midwest and northeastern states.92
Other typical features included wide, projecting eaves with exposed rafters, battered porch piers
and decorative brackets at the roofline.93
The exterior of the Dewey House exhibits the use of native stone, carefully shaped and crafted,
and expansive full width porches under the main roof which align with Bungalows built in the
early Craftsman style (Photos 2 and 8). The overall shape, design and use of natural materials
in the house is similar to a Gustav Stickley design published in The Craftsman in February
1905,94 just a few years prior to construction of the Dewey House (Figure 13). The curved
stones at the inside corners of the porch ceilings show the care and craftsmanship in building of
the house, as well as Miller's attention to detail in his designs (Photos 2 and 8). Extension of the
roof over the full width porches is typical of the Bungalow style, as is the side gabled design
used in about one third of Bungalows and popular in the Midwest. The overhanging eaves,
although covered by vinyl, are another typical Craftsman bungalow feature. Bungalows often
feature brackets under these overhanging eaves, but neither the Dewey House nor the design
shown in Figure 13 have eave brackets. Two-story Bungalows such as the Dewey House are
not as common but do typically have full -width porches.95
Colonial Revival
The Colonial Revival style was popular from 1880 to 1960, as interest in early American
architecture revived after the Philadelphia Centennial of 1876 and was promoted by the
Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago. Colonial Revival houses blended well with older
neighborhoods and have a traditional charm all their own. Colonial Revival was not usually a
"pure" architectural interpretation, but rather an eclectic mixture of details from the earlier
Georgian and Adam styles. This style used design elements such as a symmetrical front
fagade, pedimented doorways, fan lights and side lights at the front entry and porches, applying
them to larger buildings. 96 Classical Revival style houses were popular during much of the
same period, from 1895 — 1950, inspired by the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago.

A renewed interest in formal designs featuring classical Corinthian, Doric or Ionic columns
developed.97 The Nacy House reflects both of these styles.
About twenty percent of Colonial Revival houses have a hipped roof without a full width front
porch, like the Nacy House. This type of Colonial Revival house was prevalent prior to 1915.98
The arched entry at 1503 Green Berry does not reflect the early Georgian or Adam styles, but
may be influenced by the Mission style, as shown in an illustration in The Craftsman in 1904
which has an entry recessed behind a trio of arches and a hipped roof (Figure 14).99 The
overhanging eave seen on the Nacy House was used on Colonial Revival houses even though
the original Georgian designs never had these.100 The symmetry of the front fagade and use of
multi -light transoms are features typical of the Colonial Revival style. The wide overhanging
eaves are similar to those seen in the other two Miller designed houses in the district and the
exposed rafter tails on the side porches are a nod to the Craftsman style popular at the same
time. The use of classical Doric columns on the arches and on the side porches are typical of
the Classical Revival style.101
Comparison to Other Neighborhoods
Other neighborhoods that were developing when the proposed district was being built were
largely more urban in nature, usually within walking distance of retail businesses. 102 The Capitol
Avenue Historic District was fairly well developed on its western end by 1900, with 49 structures
constructed. But infill and development on the east end of the district continued, with 43
structures built between 1900 and 1915, nine more by 1925, six more from 1926 to 1935 and
four built in the 1960s and 1970s.103
One small district is the Broadway-Dunklin Historic District, located at Broadway and W. Dunklin
Streets. This fourteen house district was largely built by 1900, with eight houses completed.
Four more were constructed from 1901 to 1913 and one in 1929. This is another neighborhood
within walking distance of the downtown area and local retail outlets. Six houses were listed in
the same neighborhood under the Historic Southside (Munichburg) MPDF, with four built by
1900, one in 1913 and one substantially changed to its present form in 1930.104
Suburban neighborhoods that developed just after the proposed district was built were
Woodcrest, including part of Adams, Woodlawn, Tyler and Hickory Streets, platted in 1913.105
Wagner Place subdivision was platted circa 1912, including much of Moreau Drive, Fairmount

Boulevard, Fairmount Court and Oakwood Drive.106 Fairmount Place subdivision was platted in
1915, with Moreau Drive, Elmerine and Moreland Avenue included .107 Wagner Place and
Fairmount Place were listed on the National Register in 2013, with the addition of Lee Street
and Vineyard Square. These three suburbs were developed by corporations which purchased
and subdivided the land for resale. Perhaps Houck McHenry could be considered a developer,
as he did purchase land and then sell some of the frontage, but only for two houses and the
proposed district was never platted as a subdivision.
A more comparable example to the proposed district is the Hobo Hill Historic District at E. Miller
and Jackson Streets, with houses constructed between 1908 and 1916. This small, early
subdivision includes seven houses (one contributing outbuilding was destroyed by the 2019
tornado). Even though this neighborhood is much closer to the downtown area, the availability
of automobiles facilitated its development as it is located on a rather steep hill and most of the
houses had garages. Developed by Hugh Stephens and Edwin R. Hogg, the neighborhood was
not platted as a subdivision. The Hobo Hill neighborhood's buildings include three Four Square
houses (built in 1910, 1910 and 1915), one Colonial Revival house built of stone (1909), one
stone bungalow with battered columns (1916), one English Revival house with stucco cladding
(1910) and one Folk Victorian frame cottage (1915).108
One last comparison is the West Main neighborhood. The John M. and Lillian Sommerer House
was built at 2023 West Main in 1929 and listed on the National Register in 2007. The house is
one of the oldest in the neighborhood, constructed prior to completion of nearby West
Elementary School in 1938. John Sommerer acquired a 12 acre "gentleman's farm" in 1928 with
frontage on Industrial Drive, the site of the future school to the southeast and the former Bagnell
Branch Railroad on the west. Despite its relatively small size, the farm supported sheep,
chickens, hay fields, apple orchards and grape vines, managed by a tenant on-site. When
Sommerer constructed his house in 1929 it was located near the western edge of development
in the city. It appears that Sommerer sold several lots on the south side of West Main Street
between 1930 and 1950, based on the styles of houses in the area. In 1950 Sommerer
transferred a portion of the property to John M. Sommerer Jr., then in 1952 sold the remainder
to developer Roy Scheperle. Donald Drive was developed adjacent to the Sommerer House in
the 1950s, primarily consisting of low, one-story ranch houses. Much of the land facing
Industrial Drive remains undeveloped.109 About a block to the west is the St. Joseph's
Cathedral, built in 1959.110
Conclusion
The Frank Miller Green Berry Road Historic District is locally significant under Criteria C in the
area of Architecture. The period of significance is 1908 to 1910, the dates of construction of the
three houses. The district is somewhat differentiated from the surrounding houses by the
elevation of two of the houses above Green Berry Road, their large lot sizes and earlier period

architectural styles. The houses were designed by local architect Frank Miller. Miller was a
Jefferson City architect from circa 1904 to 1922 who designed a number of notable buildings in
Jefferson City. While several of his commercial or institutional designs are extant, only three
other houses designed by Miller remain, adjacent to one another on Swifts Highway. Miller's
designs for the houses in the district remain largely intact, as the houses continue to reflect the
architect's use of the Craftsman and Colonial Revival styles. Some changes have occurred, with
windows on the McHenry House being replaced, vinyl siding added to the Nacy House and to
the sides of the upper floors of the Dewey House. A number of historic outbuildings remain
associated with these houses and the setting remains largely unchanged since the time of
construction. The garage at the Nacy House is non-contributing due to its newer metal roof and
siding, and a free-standing wood deck and three landscape features are also non-contributing
as they are of more recent vintage. These are located behind or to the side of the house and
are fairly small in scale so do not negatively impact the house's setting. Other houses have
been built on either side of the district, but these are either at some distance from houses in the
district, sit at a lower elevation or are screened from view by trees. The Frank Miller Green Berry
Road Historic District is older than other suburban districts in Jefferson City that have been
listed on the National Register of Historic Places, having been built in what at the time was rural
farmland.
