Harper House, located in the Westmoreland Historic District of Houston, Texas, is a distinguished residence constructed in 1905 from mail-order house plans designed by architect George Barber. This late Queen Anne-style home, characterized by its wrapped porch, decorative gables, and Doric columns, was originally occupied by Benjamin and Bertie Harper and their two children. Benjamin Harper was notable for his role as the owner of Union Iron Works Inc. and as vice president of the Harris County Bank and Trust Company. The house exemplifies Barber's design No. 234, labeled "Suburban Beauty" in an 1899 issue of American Homes, showcasing the architectural elegance of its era. Generated from the website
