Sharing a set of 3 photos this week for my Thursday Doors entry. This is another one from the Victorian Towers neighborhood and is on the National Register of Historic Places as of 1979. Built in 1896, it is a 3-story Queen Anne brick home. It features a 2 story tower, turreted oriel window, sweeping veranda and porte corchere according to the description from my source.

What is an oriel window you might wonder? Wikipedia describes it as this: “An oriel window is a type of projecting bay window that extends out from a building’s wall without reaching the ground.” It is supported by a sort of cantilever structure. Now for the photos.

More information below to those interested.

This grand twenty-room Queen Anne home has been a landmark in Sedalia since entrepreneur Joseph E. Imhauser had it built for his family in 1896. Imhauser operated a contracting business and lived in this home for three years before selling the property to Henry and Leona Harris. Henry Harris had owned a successful mercantile and later served as president of a local bank. The Harris family descendants owned the home until the late 1970s. The ornate home is marked by its fine architecture, multiple fireplaces, stained glass windows, and a wine cellar, to name a few luxurious features.
