Notes
Survey number HABS MO-1200
Significance: The lot upon which the Hagan House stands has a very early ethnic ownership history (ca. late 1840s). Constructed by a white man (Christian Hagan), the house was purchased in 1872 by a black man (Hiram Brooks). Black residential patterns in the late 1800s in Jefferson City indicate that few it any other black owned structures were present in the vicinity of the Hagan House. Further, historic inventory of black owned structures of the 19th century strongly suggest that the Hagan House may be the earliest extant black owned structure in the Jefferson County area. The house has been in continuous black ownership since the purchase by Brooks in 1872 until the City of Jefferson purchased it in January 1982.
