-
- It is not known who designed this unique
1890 house. It was built by Joseph Garneau, Jr., associated with the Garneau Cracker
Company, one of the largest operations of its kind in the West during the 1880’s. In
1903, several years after Garneau moved to Chicago upon consolidation of his business with
an even bigger company, the house was purchased by Thomas Kilpatrick, who was very
successful in the dry goods and clothing business. Kilpatrick resided in the house until
his death in 1916.
-
- While the original smooth-brick exterior
wall surfaces have been stuccoed, the medieval and picturesque qualities of the Romanesque
revival style of the Garneau/Kilpatrick House are still evident.

National Register of Historic Places.)
