Bungalow style house

Classification: Contributing. Historic Name: Farrar/White Oak Apartments. Architectural Style: Bungalow. Construction Date: ca. 1900. Period 2 of Harry S Truman’s Life: Establishing Community Roots, 1890-1919. Tax Identification: 26-220-21-10. Legal Description: Independence Annex, block 21, lot 10. Description: Contributing two- and one-half story wood-frame dwelling; rectangular in shape; gabled roof with gabled dormers and boxed cornice at bellcast gabled ends, clad with composition shingles; uncoursed cut stone exterior (first floor) and stucco exterior (second level); one-over-one double-hung sash wood windows; cut stone-faced foundation with daylight basement. Corner lot with lawn; small-scale shrubbery planted along the foundation. • Alterations: The front porch was either removed or enclosed on ground floor and second floor; a terrace was added on the main facade. History/Significance: Mrs. V. Turned lived in the house from around 1900 to sometime just prior to 1916. Mary E. Farrar probably owned this building in 1916, and rented rooms that year to Charles A. Brown, Charles E. Dixon, William C. Dunn, and Claude Rice. By 1920, Mary W. Mize and Mary E. Farrar were the only residents. Apparently, by 1924, the building was known as the Farrar Apartments, and the street address was 401 and 403. Sometime prior to 1948, the name was changed to the White Oak Apartments.
