"This was the home of John B. Douglas a Civil War veteran, merchant and city official, and his wife Ketura Walker Douglas, a local church and civic leader. The area around this site was an upper-middle class residential neighborhood just outside the original town plat. The high Victorian wood frame edifice was probably erected as a 2-story building with a 3-story tower. The family modified the house in stages."
