History/Significance: James C. Stockwood probably had this Colonial Revival style house constructed around 1925. For many years, James and Lind A. Stockwood operated Stockwood Tire Company in the 200 block of West Maple Avenue. In 1926, J.C. Stockwood became actively involved in the newly formed Jackson County and Clay County Improvement Association, which, among several projects aimed at improving roads in the area, promoted a project to have a bridge constructed across the Missouri River near Courtney (near the old Liberty Landing).
