An exuberant version of the Queen Anne style, it features a two-story tower, turreted oriel, sweeping veranda and porte cochere and is accompanied by a separate carriage house at the rear. Abounding in contrasting materials, textures and colors on the exterior, the house has a richly appointed interior highlighted by oak, cherry, maple and bird's-eye maple woodwork. Located on a triple corner lot in a quiet, residential area, the house stands out in the neighborhood as one of the only buildings surviving in original condition...

The Harris House, 705 West Sixth Street, Sedalia, Missouri, is significant as an exceptional example of Queen Anne architecture in the Pettis-Benton County area and as a building surviving in virtually unaltered condition. The house has long enjoyed a prominent place in the forefront of Sedalia society, both as the city's preeminent Victorian landmark and as the residence of Henry Wilson Harris (1848-1923), one of Central Missouri's most prosperous and respected businessmen." - National Register Nomination
