Dovie's was built in the early 1930's, designed by an east coast architect.
It was used as a farm house on what was then the prairie. Later, in the
1950's, Audie Murphy purchased the estate as his own.

The house was converted to Dovie's in May 1980. Only the large courtyard
room was added. The four bedrooms which were once upstairs, were converted
into dining rooms, with a private bar, which is used mostly for private
functions. The downstairs remains almost the same. The porch was enclosed
and the kitchen increased in size by using the garage and other buildings.
The breakfast, dinning, lounge, and den all remain mostly as they appeared
in 1930. Dovie's specializes in American and modern American food.

A beautiful and valuable painting of Audie Murphy by the renown Dmitri
Vail once hung on the staircase to the second floor (see image below).

seen at Dovies and has since
been acquired by
the Audie Murphy family.
