The original dwelling on the 13-acre lot was built in 1890 and named after the Civil War veteran Dr. John Carter. It has a wraparound porch and is home to a liberty tree dating to 1776.

According to the New York Post, a woman named Ruth I. Kolpin Rubison bought the original property after first renting it in 1963 and built the second home with all sorts of additions.

Ron Petersen Sr., the late owner's son, told The Joplin Globe his mother saw the carriage house as a place she could "convalesce" and built it with her age in mind, the New York Post reported. That's why there's elevator access to all three floors.

Topping off the property is another building, home to its very own throne room, built out of the lumber from one of the liberty trees on-site that blew down during a storm in 1998.
