This home has so much character and local history! Built in 1905 it stands as a testament to the love of Jack Blanton’s hometown. Jack Blanton was Norman Rockwell’s “The Country Editor”. At the corner of Ruby Street & Main, on nearly a quarter city block it has a glorious upper & lower level yard that swoops down to the creek. While working in the yard one can hear the church bells restored by the Blanton decedents.The home has 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths with a clawfoot tub, receiving & family parlors, & formal dining room. All rooms have 12ft ceilings & steam heat. The receiving parlor & formal dining room both showcase fireplaces with leaded glass & original tile work on the face of the fireplaces. Working pocket doors which slide easily between parlors still retain the original portias for curtain rods to hang the heavy drapes. This property would be perfect for a B & B (there are none in the NE MO region) or office space. Paris is located on the southwest corner of Mark Twain Lake.
