Mount Barbara is a "massive" Prairie School style house on a bluff overlooking Salina, Kansas.[2] It was built during c.1916 to 1918 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]

It was designed by Kansas City architects Clarence E. Shepard (1869-1949) and Hardborne D. Belcher.[note 1] Clarence Shepard had worked as a draftsman under Frank Lloyd Wright during 1902-1905. Landscaping was designed by Hare and Hare.[2]

It stands on what is now a 2.7 acres (1.1 ha) property at 100 Mt. Barbara.

Three sources with information about Shepard are: 1. [2]

2. Wright Stuff article has passage about Shepard.[3]

3. The abstract of a magazine article by Doran L. Cart, available at Kansas City Public Library, states that Shepard was uncle of Ernest Hemingway, and more.[4]

[Temporary: Clarence Erasmus Shepard appears Wikipedia-notable. There was a Draft:Clarence E. Shepard but it was deleted, needs to be restored.Seems not to be correct. Was that Draft:Clarence Erasmus Shepard, instead? ]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Little is known about architect Hardborne D. Belcher beyond that he designed several houses with Shepard (Mount Barbara appears to be the only NRHP-listed one). The NRHP document for Mount Barbara states: "Despite several attempts with organizations and books, the identity of Hardborne Belcher remains unclear."
