The Boley House

Hidden by trees along a busy country road, this is a terrible picture of this abandoned house. No owner appears on this section in the 1873 atlas but George Boley is shown as owner in 1898 with two residences, one of them probably the older house in this picture as the county has down the older house was built around 1900.

Both George Boley and his wife, Theresa, died in 1901 and the property moved to George N. Boley. The Boleys were devout Catholic and services were held at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Topeka and burial was in Mount Calvary.

The newer house was built around 1930 but both are abandoned and boarded up now. The land and outbuildings are still occasionally used as people are seen working.
