Above: The entry hall
at the LanderginHarrington
House.
Opposite: The house's
Palm Room. All interior
images are dated
1915; from the
Panhandle-Plains
Historical Museum,
Canyon.The Landergin house cost at the time of erection [1913], $90,000, and if built two years later
would have cost $225,000 [due to] its extreme size--96 by 113 feet, four floors fully finished.I remember the rough electric wiring cost $2,500, and the pulleys in the windows [cost]
$420.00. When the Germans bombarded Brussels in 1914, a $2,500 rug being made for the
living room was destroyed.
Shepard, Farrar, and Wiser of Kansas City were the architects, and I worked closely with
them. The building was begun September 1913 and required nearly two years to complete.It was my first large contract, together with the Shuford home. I was just 35 years old and was
very proud of the finished houses. (1)
