A bequest of $20,000 was made to the Kansas State Agricultural College in 1912 by Mehitable C.C. Wilson. In 1922 the amount was increased to $29,391 for the erection of a house for the President of the College. Professor Cecil Baker, Head of the Department of Architecture designed the building. Its rugged stone walls, steeply pitched roofs and informal composition recall some of the characteristics of English country houses. The residence recently has undergone remodeling and expansion.
