The Booth-Dickey house is one of the oldest residences yet identified inside the Springfield City Limits. The lot upon which it stands was purchased in 1869 by Waldo Booth, and the house is presumed to have been built shortly thereafter. Charles Dickey, a prominent local attorney in the early years of this century, and his family were longtime owners and residents. Other owners have included Waldo Booth, William H. Park, Helen Stonebraker, and F.M. McDavid. The current owners, Dr. and Mrs. T.H. Tucker, have made some alterations in the exterior appearance of the house, which has been a long time favorite of Springfieldians. Architectural Style: American colonial
