We're excited to kick off stabilization work on the c. 1890 Kirby-Colburn House!
This prominent house on Hwy 45 was constructed circa 1890 by James C. and Mary Kirby, who donated the land for Cane Hill College building to be built. The Colburn family has also long had connections to the house and farmed the property surrounding it. The house has been vacant for as long as many area residents can remember and the exterior requires imagination to see the potential. But the interior of this house is in better condition than the outside would lead you to believe, thanks to its sturdy construction, and we’re excited to make sure it will be standing for many years to come!
Keep an eye out for the Wagner General Contractors, Inc. crew hard at work.
