Walnut-Dollison Historic District, Charles G. Rose House, 919 East Walnut St Springfield, Greene County, MO
Built in 1902-03 by speculator J.B. Montgomery, this two-story frame house was first occupied by Charles Rose, owner of the Rose Dry Goods Company. In 1906 it was sold to Ignace Glaser, also in dry goods, and was later sold to Dr. William Plunlee and his wife Effie, who owns it now. A simply massed and detailed neoclassical building typical of its period, it is somewhat more modestly sized than its neighbors, substantial town houses built along Walnut Street at the turn of the century. This house has undergone few alterations, retaining its architectural integrity.
