Walk back in time and look at this beautiful Federal-style home. This home is high-lighted in A Guide to Historic Homes in Independence, KS written by Ken. D. Brown. The book explains the Federal style is characterized by balance and symmetry in desgin. By looking at the front of the house, one notes the balanced windows, the centered front door, and twin dormers which are classic features of Federal style. This 3 story home was originally built as a wedding present by A.E. Todd for George T. Thatch Guersey, JR. Original oak floors and wide stairways. Fireplace in two rooms downstairs and also upstairs in bedrooms. Kitchen has been completely redone. Stained glass windows and lead glass in china cabinet. There are so many features for this house. Behind the house is a garage with apartment upstairs. This is a great buy for the size of house and in great condition.
