400 Fifth Ave., Leavenworth, Kansas

The Nathaniel H. Burt House in Leavenworth, Kansas, United States, was built in 1895. It was designed by William P. Feth. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

Its owner, Nathaniel H. Burt, had 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 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.
