T

his grand mansion was built by W.R. Priest, M. D. and his wife Mrs Mary Fitzgerald Priest. The house has been incredibly well preserved while updates to wiring, plumbing and other modern amenities have ushered in a new era ready for a new caretaker. The marble tiles used in the solarium floor and 2nd floor bathroom floor were sourced from The Vermont Marble Company, which supplied the marble for The Washington Monument and Mount Vernon. At the turn of the 20th century, many mansion-dwellers used

the topmost story as a ballroom.

Sometime between 1935-1950, the third floor ballroom was converted to living spaces that could be rented out as separate apartments. Many tenants were long-time residents and proudly called the mansion “home” well into old age. All of the additions can be removed to return the third floor to its original floor plan. Original woodwork, trim and fixtures, Italian style green glazed pan roof tiles and ornate inlaid woodwork are all spectacular details of a truly unique and incredibly well constructed piece of early American history.

THE PRIEST FAMILY chose the best workmen in Kansas to add the finishing flourishes to their beloved home
