602 N 3rd Street Ozark, MO 65721

Own the oldest standing structure in Ozark and the only building in town that predates the Civil War, along with a separate custom cottage! Built around 1855 by John Weaver, owner of the Ozark Mill, the Historic Weaver House survived the 1862 Battle of Ozark as a field hospital, and the repaired cannonball strike in its chimney is still visible today. Legend says soldiers from both sides laid down arms at noon to share a meal here. The Baldknobbers later met in the north bedroom, and the hood they burned into the floor remains. In 1938, celebrated Ozarks architect Don Russell and his mother Lucy restored the home with columns from the Ozark Opera House, arcade light fixtures, his signature spiral staircase and oak siding from Bull Creek.
