222 West Franklin (1911-13) Allen House
Style:  Prairie

The Multi-colored brick detailing distinguishes this Prairie style home from others in the area. The full front porch has square brick columns and rails with shone caps extending to the left from the patio. A side entry porch on the first story has an enclosed second story porch above. The residence also features a clay tile roof and wide, overhanging eaves. Windows vary in size. There is a one car contributing garage with shiplap siding and bellcast gable roof; additional storage on the west is reached through a door.

The Dougherty-Prospect Heights Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Portions of the text below were selected, transcribed and/or adapted from a copy of the original nomination document.

The Dougherty-Prospect Heights Historic District is located within the city limits of Liberty, Clay County, Missouri. The district is roughly along W. Franklin and W. Kansas streets from Fairview on the east Prairie and Gallatin streets on the west, as well as south to Shrader between Moss and S. Terrace avenues. There are 139 contributing buildings and 19 non-contributing buildings contained within its boundaries. Of the 139 contributing buildings, 23 are garages; two are other outbuildings, including a former summer kitchen; and the remainder are residences. Of the 19 non-contributing buildings, seven are residences, eleven are garages, and one is a shed. The Dougherty-Prospect Heights Historic District is a good example of the Residential District property type, as defined in the amendment to the Multiple Property Submission, "Historic Resources of Liberty, Clay County, Missouri" (hereafter, "Liberty MPS"). The district contains a variety of housing styles, types, and sizes. Included are pre-Civil War Greek Revival Residences, Queen Anne style buildings, Prairie and Craftsman style buildings, simple National Folk forms, and early twentieth century vernacular styles. Although there are many good examples of buildings from all periods of Liberty's history in the district, the Dougherty-Prospect Heights district contains some of the community's best examples of the popular styles from the early twentieth century, such as the Craftsman bungalow. The lot sizes in Prospect Heights and the west end of W. Kansas Street are comparatively small, but other lots are much larger. Most of the houses have uniform setback. Even though the houses represent a wide span of construction dates, the uniform setback combined with the other physical features of the district help unify the setting. All of the streets are the typical rectangular grid laid over the rolling topography, with the exception of Harrison Street. There are alleys behind many houses, and the tree-lined streets and historic lamp posts all contribute to the historic sense of time and place within the district. The district as a whole retains integrity of location, setting, feeling, association, materials, and design, and it fulfills the registration requirements for the Residential District property type.
