This Famous Home . . . at 605 Third St. still looks much the same on the outside as it did when Gen. Grenville M. Dodge moved in 89 years ago. Now it is an apartment house.
Reception Room Today . . . shows little resemblance to the past. Only one piece of the original furniture remains, the long, low buffet with its immense mirror that covered nearly half a wall.
In Former Days . . . the main reception room entertained many of the most prominent figures of the nineteenth century - U.S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, William McKinley - to name a few.
