The Bowman-White House
901 Rose St.

professional and miner owner's home
Construction Date: 1892
Acquisition Date: 1974

The Bowman-White House reflects the upper class and professional people of early Georgetown. The Italianate structure is accented with Queen Anne details and at the time of construction, contained over 2400 square feet of living space.

John Henry Bowman built this house for his family in 1892. His ownership and management of mining properties in the Silver Creek area (south of Lawson) brought in enough profit to allow him to erect this stylish two-story home. Bowman's daughter, Mellie, inherited the property at the turn-of-the-century, and lived here with her husband, local attorney John J. White and four boys. After her death, the property was sold to HGI.

"One of the most handsome residences in Georgetown."
-The Georgetown Courier
