James P. Curry, a rancher and president of the First National Bank of Fort Morgan, built this two-and-one-half-story clapboard Queen Anne Style house. An irregular plan is enhanced by elaborate wood trim, especially on the first- and second-story porches. Curry's humble origins as a sheepherder and cowboy are commemorated by the battered frame water tower and frame outhouse in the back yard near the two-story barn and attached carriage house. Local historian Lyn Deal has re-created the old front porch on what is now her house.
