"The Hamilton/Edna Cuddy Memorial House and Gardens is an asymmetrical shaped
house of brick construction facing North from its corner lot one block off the
square in the City of Bethany, Missouri. This tall and stately Italianate-style
home was designed in 1882 by Edmund Eckel of St. Joseph, Missouri, for a
prominent hardware merchant by the name of James P. Hamilton (but usually called
J.P.). Mr. Hamilton's initials, J.P.H., and the date, 1882, were carved into the
projecting double window header off the second floor of the north facade. The
initials and dates are further accentuated by a gable pediment in the roof just
above this area." - from National Register Nomination Form
The house is open for tours at various times during the summer. To see
