Homes of Distinction- The Lindley Mansion 1886
A beautiful Victorian Mansion in the heart of Missouri
Just sold…March 2020.
A friend asked me to help them sell their beautiful 133 year old mansion.
It had me thinking about how many other beautiful and often substantially built homes were waiting to be found by new caring owners.
This house has been lovingly maintained and tastefully improved over the past few years.

The Lindley Mansion was built in 1886 by E.P. Lindley.
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a substantial Victorian residence that has been well maintained and lovingly cared for by the present owner.

504 South Adams is a magnificent home
Reputedly one of the first homes in Nevada built with bathrooms and gas lights ( which were changed once electricity was available).
Originally the family entertained on the third floor where guests danced the night away.
Later when the staircase was blocked off to accommodate an extra bathroom with closet a secret room was created which still exists to this day.
Come and visit see if you can find it!
