Old House By George Rice 2011-01-17 . Adair County Veterans Memorial Bypass If old houses could talk: This old house is located on the west side of the Columbia bypass (Now officially the "The Adair County Veterans Memorial Bypass" - CM) and is on the property of Mr. Harry Ingram.When I look at this old house I visualize many years ago when it was a new house and the pride and joy that someone had in a new house. There must have been many little bare footed children making tracks and enjoying the home cooking of their mother on a wood stove. A father who cut wood and they all sat around a wood stove keeping warm during the winter. It was a modern day way of life for that day. Mr. Ingram doesn't know who built the house or when it was built but supposes it to have been built around 1900. He says the last resident was a Mr. Will Jones.
