====== Robert Chambers House ====== Robert Chambers House, Walton Located on Chambers Road in [[Walton]], the Robert Chambers House was constructed in 1914 and represents stylistic and structural innovation in a rural house of the early 20th century. It is a frame residence of rectilinear form, under a cross-gabled roof of stamped metal shingles. A roof gable is centered on the facade. Extending across the front is an open porch with Tuscan columns. The house rests on a poured concrete foundation, said to be one of the first in the county; because of technological limitations, it was poured in three sections. An English timber-frame barn stands on the property. The landscaped lot is shaded by a giant Osage orange tree, believed to be nearly four hundred years old. Chambers was the scion of a wealthy family for whom the road is named. The house was added to the [[National Register]] in 2000. ===== More Information ===== ===== Related websites ===== * National Register Information (PDFs), [[https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/AssetDetail?assetID=721f7286-742b-4653-b178-f7405b716aec|inventory form and photos]] ===== Related Topics ===== * [[Historic Homes]] * [[Farming]]
