The Wolcott House is a historic house in Mission Hills, Kansas, U.S.. It was built in 1928 for John J. Wolcott, a grain dealer, and his wife Wynnogene (also known as Daisy).[2] It was designed by architect Selby Kurfiss in the Tudor Revival style, with elements of French eclecticism.[2] In 1939, it was purchased by Louis S. Myers, the vice president and treasurer of the Rodney Milling Company. By 1951, it was purchased by Samuel Sosland, the editor of Southwestern Miller.[2] It was then purchased by David W. Gibson, the president of the Wolcott-Lincoln Company, in 1984, followed by Mark A. Morgan in 1997, and Michael Coughlin in 1999.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 2, 2001.[3]
