The Seth Hays House is a historic house at 203 Wood Street in Council Grove, Kansas. Seth Hays, the first white settler in Council Grove, built the house in 1867.[2] A Missouri native, Hays originally moved to Council Grove to start a trading post for Boone & Hamilton; he eventually owned the trading post himself, and he also started a local newspaper and the town's first bank. The house was Hays' third in Council Grove; he built a log cabin for himself in 1847, the year he settled in Council Grove, and moved to a brick dwelling in 1860. The 1867 house is a one-story vernacular brick building with an L-shaped plan. While living in Missouri, Hays enslaved a woman named Sarah Taylor, also known as Aunt Sallie. After Kansas became a state and abolished slavery in 1861, she stayed with Hays as a servant, and she lived in the house's basement.[3]
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 25, 1975.[1]
