The Sanford House was owned by 2 of Sioux City's most well known philanthropist's, Arthur and Stella Sanford. Here is a link about their generosity in Sioux City:
Stella Sanford The home is now privatley owned. When I stopped to take the phot of it the owner was mowing the lawn. I talked with him a little bit and found some very important info. about some of the history of the house. For example John F. Kennedy came through Sioux City when he was in office. There is a photo of him standing on the front porch of the home hanging on the wall inside the house.

Info. and a photo of the house.
