C.R. Burrow House

This home was built in 1911 by C.R. Burrow.  The home received its Texas Historical Marker in 2009.

The inscription reads:

Charles Richard Burrow moved to Canyon city in 1899 to work for Eagle Hardware, and by 1919 he was able to buy the business and rename it Burrow Lumber Company. Burrow remained an active business and civic leader until his death in 1959. He served as mayor of Canyon, city commissioner and president of the Lumbermen's Association of Texas. His philanthropic endeavors allowed many students at West Texas Normal College (later West Texas A&M University) to complete their education. Burrow married Bula Wright in 1903, and in 1911 architect O.G. Roquemore designed for them this two-story cross gabled craftsman style bungalow featuring dormer windows, brackets, exposed rafter ends and brick porch columns.

The house is 4,090 square feet and includes 4 bedrooms and 4 and three-quarter bathrooms. The kitchen is cozy, equipped with stainless steel appliances, and features a pantry and a butler's pantry for additional storage.  A standout feature of the house is a bedroom with a private entrance, which makes it perfect for guests, in-laws, or even a potential Airbnb rental room.

Two living areas make this home a perfect place to live and entertain.  The windows throughout the house are perfect for natural light.  The backyard and patio are ideal for entertaining outdoors or a large space for the kids or dogs to run around and have fun.

The home is listed for $490,000 by Mary Lou Lyons with Lyons Realty.
