809 Panhandle Street- J.B. & Anna Rose Burrow House

J. B. (1907-1994) and Anna Rose (1908-2009) Burrow contracted with B. A. Wilson to build this house in 1940. They married in 1931 in Marietta, Oklahoma, where they maintained the Burrow family farm. They moved to Denton when Mr. Burrow became part owner of the Salvage & Trade Store. In May 1941, Mr. Burrow became the sole owner of the furniture store (later Burrow Furniture) at 207 North Elm. They moved to 907 West Hickory Street in 1945, as they expanded Burrow Furniture to three locations. The couple helped the founding of Grace Temple Baptist Church in 1948, hosting the original congregation in their home until 1949 when the church opened its first building at 1106 Oak Street in Denton. This house stands as an excellent example of a minimal tradition design with a telescoping pair of front gabled projections.
