Description and history
A <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />2+1⁄2-story structure, it features a hipped roof with a combination of stucco and wood clapboard siding for the exterior walls. A single story hipped-roof porch runs across the front of the home. The building possesses a multitude of other prairie-style elements and retains a high degree of architectural integrity. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on September 26, 1986, as NR ID Number 86002346.[3]
Joseph Carpenter was a successful businessman, accumulating considerable wealth as a merchant of farm implements and hardware,[4] which made him financially able to hire an architect from Kansas City to design his new home.[3] As one of the largest homes in Stroud, it reflected Carpenter's importance as a commercial leader in the city. A factor in the house retaining its architectural integrity is the care given it by Joseph's son and daughter-in-law Paul F. and Ruth (Riley) Carpenter,[5] who resided in the home through 1986 when it was placed on the National Historic Register.[3]
