Amos Armstrong Cass came to Jasper County in 1886 as a contractor and builder, but mining was flourishing in the area and he became heavily involved in that business. He was invested in at least seven mines as well as being a partner in the Weeks Hardware, a mining equipment company. In 1896 architect Alfred W Reas of the firm Garstang & Rea designed and built this six bedrooms, three baths, 3,672 square home for Cass.

With a fireplace in every bedroom and a dining room big enough for a table for ten and a swimming pool in the backyard this was a magnificent home.

Mr. Cass lived in this house until his death in 1915.

It is located at the intersection of N Pine St. and Route 66 (Main St.) diagonally across the intersection from the old Dairy Creme building.
