HISTORIC OLD HOUSE
Brought to Kansas From Ohio
by Boat.
Frame Structure Transported in Sec
tIons From Cincinnati Half a
Century Ago Once Housed
States First Governor.

Kansas City, Kan.-Within a few
hundred feet of the site OF the new
city hall and almost under the Shad-
ow Of the beautiful st. Mary's Catho-
lie church there stands the oldest
frame house in this city. 1t is the
home Of the Misses Amelia and Aga
tina Waller. daughters OF John Waller,
one Of the early settlers of Wyandotte
county.
Besides being the Oldest house OF its
kind in the city this residence has the
distinction of once having sheltered
for a period of several months the
first governor of Kansas, Charles Rob-
insOn. The Walters have learned that
he once had his office In the front
room of the house, but whether he re-
sided in the remainder of the dwell
ing they do not know. His period OF
residence in the house was in the
early COS. before q permanent state
capital of Kansas had been selected
His home was near Lawrence, but
business interests brought him to
Kansas City, history says.
This little house-it is a one-story

here from Cincinnati on a boat. 1t
is believed that the house was occu-
pied IN the Ohio city. When 1t was
brought down the Ohio river. up
the Mississippi and the Missouri, and
into the kaw, it was in sections. The
sides had been taken apart and the
weather boarding removed. The old
carpenter here AYERS the weather
boarding vas fastened to the frames
with wooden pins. Miss Agatha Wal
Ter thinks the house was plastered
soon after it was put together here.
Just who brought the house to Kan
a City has not been established. 1t
Is known, however, that it arrived IN
1858 and at that time Samue Mcln-
tyre. one of the men who plated Wy
andotte county. owned the property
upon which the house stood. 1t is
probable. therefore, that 1t was he
who was responsible for the house
being transferred to the banks of the
kaw.
The house Is still well preserved.

sion to have 1t repaired. There never
