History
The residence is a reflection of early growth and development in Oswego and the community’s interest in establishing an educational institution for women. The house and surrounding property are the last remaining vestiges of the Oswego College for Young Ladies, which held classes from 1885 to 1920.The house was constructed circa 1874 as a private residence. In 1885, the property was deeded to the Oswego College for Young Ladies, which was operated by the Neosho Presbytery. Plagued by enrollment problems, the College closed in 1920 and sold its property to the Kansas Military Academy in 1922.
The property functioned as the military academy’s campus just two years, before it suffered a devastating fire that destroyed the adjacent classroom and dormitory building. The property again became a private residence, owned by N.R. Bickford, who established a large poultry farm there before selling ten years later to Lewis Edwards. At the
time of nomination, the property is owned by a descendant of Edwards.
