The Atlas House
The Atlas House suffered major fire damage as firefighters fought a blaze from 6:30 p.m. on May 31 until 2:30 a.m. on June 1. The building is located at 218 S. Osteopathy in Kirksville.
The Atlas Club, a Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine fraternity, has owned the house since 1953. The mansion was built in 1912 by Charles Still, D.O., son of Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, founder of osteopathic medicine and of the original school.
