Summary
In 1904 the Cather family left their little rented house on the corner of Third and Cedar and moved into this more spacious house, which they had purchased. Although Willa Cather had left Red Cloud permanently in 1896, she continued to visit her family in this house during the summers and occasionally for Christmas. The house is the setting for the Ferguesson family home in one of her short stories, "The Best Years."
