The Nathaniel H. Burt House is a historic house located at 400 Fifth Avenue in Leavenworth, Kansas. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 27, 1987.[1]

Description and history

Its owner, Nathaniel H. Burt, moved to Leavenworth in 1875 and started working for the Great Western Stove Company. He became the treasurer of the company in 1885, then became its president in 1911. His house, built in 1895, was fitting for a prominent city businessman. The houses architect, William P. Feth, had recently returned to Leavenworth after architectural school and training in Chicago, from 1885 through 1890, and more training in Denver from 1890 through 1895. The design of the house is influenced by Henry Hobson Richardson elements, such as its material, form, and overall feeling. Some influence of Richard Morris Hunt's architecture is reflected in the ornamented dormers and an oriel window.[2]
