304 E. Morgan

        Col. John and Laura Elliot built this home in the 1890's for speculative purposes.  Mr. Elliot was involved in supplying the M. K. T. Railroad with railroad ties, organizing and presiding over the Commercial Bank, and developing and presiding over the Boonville Water Works.  The addition of modern siding has obscured most of the Queen Anne details except the porch posts and brackets and the original massing.  There is a one-story hip        roof porch on the northwest.  On the south is a one-and-one-half story room, original to the structure, across the full facade with an open porch on the west.  The residence sits on and embankment and has a stone wall to the front.  Today it is a rental duplex.
