Background

It was home of Samuel P. Gebhart (c.1853-1935) editor and publisher of the Pratt Union newspaper and who long served on the City Council and once served as mayor. It was built by Duckworth, who built many local homes throughout southeastern Kansas, using windows and woodwork that were imported.

The house was deemed significant for its associations with Gebhart and with Duckworth, and for its architecture; it retained "an extraordinary high degree of architectural and structural integrity."[2]
