Rigsby Station and Home

RIGSBY HOUSE, 103 N. BENTON ST: Claude & Evalina Rigsby bought this house, which stands on lots 6 and 7 in block 4 of the original town of Waynesville, in 1924. The foundation is made of rough-hewn logs and was constructed in the 1870s by Judge Vandover Berry Hill. The Rigsby’s operated their Standard Service station next-door to this home for more than three decades. During the years when Fort Leonard Wood was being built, the Rigsby's rented rooms and beds to construction workers.
