Barnard Mortuary is a historic building located in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, United States. Designed by Minneapolis architect Walter R. Dennis, this is a rare local example of the Mission Revival style. [2] J.P. Johnson was the contractor who completed the building in 1930 for Edward T. Barnard. Barnard was a Minneapolis native who arrived in town in 1880. He worked for the Fergus Falls Journal until about 1900 when he established a furniture store and funeral home. Barnard discontinued the furniture business at the time he had this building constructed. He remained in business until 1946 when he sold it to Otto and Ben Benson. It has had several owners since then.

The building's Mission Revival style elements are found in the round arches of the facade, the balcony, the barrel tiles, the curvilinear lines of the gables, and the smooth stucco surfaces. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. [1]

The Ramsey Building is a historic building located in Keota, Iowa, United States. Eben J. Ramsey had the two-story, brick, Romanesque Revival commercial building constructed in 1895. Its significance is derived from its association with both the furniture and funeral business. Ramsey had both businesses in the building until 1907. He had to partially rebuild it after a fire in 1897. A furniture store continued to occupy the building until 1957. A funeral home was located here until 1937 when it was relocated to a house.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.
