This Victorian
style home was built in 1883 for James P. Hamilton, long involved in the
hardware business in Bethany, on plans drawn by architect Edmond Eckel of
St. Joseph, Missouri. Of 18th Century Italianate Design, the house has
two stories and a full basement. In 1985 the house was listed in the
National register of historic Places.
In December of 1982, the house was offered

and George Koch, Kansas City Missouri. Mrs. Koch gave the house as a
memorial to her mother Edna Washington Cuddy to be known as the Edna Cuddy
Memorial House and Gardens. The house is open several times during the
summer months. |
