Historical context
DMHS’s early-history narrative identifies Richard “Dick” Finnell as an early Des Moines resident, and the 1919 timeline lists Richard C. Finnell as president of the first annual Pioneer/Old Settlers picnic.
Research note: The web record does not establish that this particular house belonged to Richard C. Finnell; the revised text avoids making that assumption.
Research references
Historical identifications are stated only where supported by the existing DMHS collection or corroborating research. Unresolved dates, names, and locations are identified as such rather than inferred from appearance alone.
