Excerpt about the house from pages 32-33:
This house was built in the late 1920s, and originally was a small scale Neo-Classical Revival style house similar in design to the style of the original owner’s Bowers family flower shop on Main Street adjacent to former Clore Funeral Home. In the 1940s, the house, which originally had a swirled stucco exterior, was remodeled to take on the appearance of an eclectic California bungalow. The intermittent overhanging tile roof, and the semi-circular arcade above the bowed front porch with its Tuscan portico are distinctive features. The Bowers family house then became the home for many years of Russell Guinn, longtime resident and local historian who collected historical photographs of Culpeper.(Submitted on July 4, 2023, by Devry Becker Jones of Washington, District of Columbia.)
