"The structure was originally built as a small hospital for Dr. C.H. van Ravenswaay and his nurse Alice Jones c. 1900. The hospital ceased operation in 1905 when it moved to the Megquire Seminary building on the corner of 7th and Locust Streets. The structure was then converted to a residence and Alice Jones and her sister Margaret resided within.
The structure was later converted to a duplex. The porch on the S was closed in after 1970.
"The residence faces W onto 3rd Street. There are no outbuildings." ~ Boonville Historic Survey PDF pages 356-358
