Property Description
This 1907 American Foursquare is a cornerstone of the Historic Midtown community. Built for Elizabeth Stoughton and later owned by Dr. J.I. Evans, the estate gained national significance in 1952 when General Ralph ''Snapper'' Truman hosted his cousin, President Harry S. Truman, for a three-day residency. Original Secret Service wiring remains visible in the back stairwell.The interior features solid mahogany woodwork, coffered ceilings, and oak flooring in a rare diamond pattern. The parlor is anchored by an Italian marble fireplace and an alabaster newel post light sourced from the 1904 World's Fair. Modern living is supported by a chef's kitchen with soapstone counters and a 2-story family room addition with under-floor radiant heat and dual central AC. The .75-acre grounds include three original brick outbuildings, one housing a 2-car garage with a 473 sq ft guest studio above. The hipped roof was recently replaced to replicate the original slate tiles, terra cotta caps, and ridge lines.
