"Red Rocks"
927 North Exchange Street
Emporia, Kansas 66801-3040

Home of William Allen White (1868-1944), an influential figure in state and national politics, respected author, journalist, and Editor of the Emporia Gazette. It is known as "Red Rocks" because of the Colorado red sandstone surrounding the first level. The top two stories are of red pressed brick, stucco, and wood strips. Built in 1889 by Almerin Gillett, the White family purchased the home in 1901. After a 1920 fire, the eleven-room home was changed from a Queen Anne to Tudor Revival. See more at www.kshs.org.
