From the Alton Telegraph, June 26, 2008 |
This home was built circa 1870 by Nathaniel Hanson, an Alton business owner. Dr. J. W. Enos established a sanitarium in the building at Third and George streets in 1890. Enos added the third floor as his practice grew. The building, is now known as the Enos Apartments. From The Telegraph, October 11, 2008 |

This 1873 photo shows the first administration building of what was to become Western Military Academy, Upper Alton, in 1879. John Bostwick built the ornate home. It later became the home of the Wyman Institute, predecessor of Western Military Academy. The home has since been demolished, but the iron fence that runs along the street was installed in 1835 and still stands at the now Mississippi Valley Christian School on the old campus on Seminary Street.
