COUNTY RAZED OLD KELLY HOUSE - The ‘old white house’ at the corner of North Missouri and West Breton is coming down this week as the County works to clean up the property and makes way for parking for the ‘downtown area’ and the Courthouse. The ‘Dennis Kelly House’ was built in 1860 (the front part of the structure) and was added on to in later years. It was owned at one time by Melvin Baddour and was the family home and first location for the Baddour Store. The building has seen many residents and businesses over the many years on North Missouri. The County Crews have been working to clear the property again this week.
