| The Abbott House
Original Owner: Dr. Rimlsey 409 South Thornton |
. | Marvin ABBOTT is the former owner of a house located on 409 South Thornton Street in Excelsior Springs. This house was originally owned and built by the DUVAL's in 1890 with a Victorian style twist. This house was later owned by Dr. RIMLSEY who used the upstairs as apartments. Then in 1967 it was owned by the present owner the Abbott's that now is a single family dwelling. The features of the house includes a central entrance, with a second story window above the central hallways. They are also flanked by a projecting bay with central windows on north and by windows on south. A veranda that run's across the primary facade to the projecting bay, witch has been altered since its construction. The inside of the veranda has some cast iron posts and railing added in recent times. Interior details include oak woodwork, sliding doorways and a carved oak staircase. Then just off of the kitchen is a back staircase that leads to an extra room where the attic entrance is located. Due to the fact that the house is so old, it was not insulated to the percision that the houses are now, so the heating bill is quite a doosie. |
