Local
Though this house is identified as the home of L.P. Foster, its location is unknown. Dr. Lyman P. Foster was a Phillips County commissioner in the early 1900s and at one time lived on a farm about 2 miles northwest of Holyoke, later moving into town before moving to California around 1915. In the June 12, 1908, edition of The State Herald, it says he was building a fancy porch to his residence on the hill, but it is unknown whether or not it’s referring to the house pictured. — Source: Phillips County Museum
