"Contemporary outbuildings concentrated to the east and near north (rear) sides of the house. A two-room doll house (ca. 1870s) was located just east of the main house. The doll house remained on the property until 1949 when it was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Ben H. Kinkhorst and moved to Brunswick, Missouri. (The Brunswicker, Brunswick, Sept. 29, 1949, p. 1, col. 6.)

"Mrs. Kinkhorst was collaterally related through her great-grandmother who was Redding f s first cousin, to the original builder-owner, William R. Redding. Mr. and Mrs. Kinkhorst purchased the Redding-Hill house in 1955 and shortly after that date returned the doll house (moved in 1949) to its original location. (Information in a letter from Mrs. John Marksbury, 100 West North Street, Keytesville, Missouri, December 3, 1968.) " ~ NRHP Nomination Form

"In 1955 the house was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Ben H. Kinkhorst. Mrs. Kinkhorst's great-grandmother was a first cousin of the original builder-owner, William R. Redding. Since the death of Mrs. Kinkhorst in 1962, the property has been owned jointly by her two daughters." ~ US Department of the Interior
