house, place with historical importance
This historic home was built in 1837 by jeweller William M Goodrich. He then sold the house to British-born cotton factor Henry Hope Stanley, whose adopted son, Henry Morton Stanley, went onto gain fame for finding the missing Scottish missionary, Dr David Livingston. It was Stanley who first uttered the legendary question, 'Dr Livingston, I presume?' He was subsequently knighted and founded the Congo Free States.
The house originally stood a few blocks away, at 904 Orange St, and was moved to its current spot in 1981.
