<p>What is now called the Truman Home was actually built by Bess Wallace Truman's grandparents, George P. and Elizabeth Emery Gates. It was one of the most fashionable homes in Independence when Mr. Gates finished it in 1885. The home today reflects the architecture and interior design of its Victorian roots, with periodic updates since then.
Only the first floor is opened to the public for tours.</p>
