The story of the house
After his wife's father died in 1881, William Ruddick brought Martha back to their home town of Columbus from Keokuk, Iowa and built her this housed gingerbread on an 80 acre "gentleman's" farm in 1884 as a bright yellow Queen Anne with turrets, balconies, bay windows, and In 1924, the entire house was changed to its current Greek Revival style, using columns salvaged from the 1904 St. Louis Exposition. As current owners, we have remodeled and redecorated the house, yet preserved the house's historic character and charm.
