Walnut-Dollison Historic District, Cooper-Herman House, 929 East Walnut Street, Springfield, Greene County, MO

Significance: Begun by plumbing supplier Harry Cooper, this house was completed in 1899 by tailor Daniel H. Herman. It was sold in 1919 to German clothier Richard Liepman and still remains in the family. One of many substantial town houses built along East Walnut Street at the turn of the century, the building displays an interior spatial arrangement and exterior massing and detailing which distinguish it as late Victorian in style. The only major addition is the 1926 expansion of the living room; other than this the house is in virtually original condition. It typifies the large frame dwellings built by the upper-middle class in Springfield at the time.
