The Benjamin Davis family purchased the home in 1919, and lived in it until the U.S. Government bought the house and farm in 1929, and there constructed the Veterans' Hospital. Then house became home to the acting chief surgeons.
In 1980, the home was vacated by the VA, and no one was allowed to occupy it. By 2002, it had been completely vandalized and only a shell remained.
Bruce & Maureen Stahr purchased and moved the home in 2003. Nearly 4,000 people came to watch the 2-day, 11 mile parade, averaging 1 mph. The 406,000 pound load was set gracefully on its new foundation, and over the next 4 years, underwent a complete transformation. The farmstead also underwent much work, restoring the original 3-story barn and farmhouse to usable condition. Now graced with restored period woodwork from another home, marble, oak, walnut, and refinished original bedroom floors, expanded front porch, 4-level elevator, and full basement, the Prairie Creek Inn is ready for anything from family celebrations and weddings to personal getaway retreats!
