This House is called the Bingham-Waggoner estate for it was once the home of Missouri artist George Caleb Bingham. the suare room on the very top is all window and is directly above the stairways, in summer the open windows draw the hot air up and out and even today not much air conditioning is needed to keep it cool. I especially like the walk-in ice box and the snaps in the wood floors to hold the rugs in place. On the grounds of the estate you can walk around some wagon swales, depressions made by the passage of many covered wagons on the way to Santa Fe, New Mexico or later to Oregon and California.
