Draft:Mount Barbara

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

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

It stands on what is now a 2.7 acre property at 100 Mt. Barbara.

Three sources with information about Shepard are: 1.

2. Wright Stuff article has passage about Shepard.

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.

[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? ]
