Page [27]: "We now know that the Ewing brothers of Logansport, Indiana were the builders [of the Ewing-Boone building, or Kelly's] and that the bricks for the job were bought in the Town of Kansas in August, 1850. The job was in all probability finished in 1851. The Ewing brothers, George W. and William G., were Indian traders of somewhat unsavory reputation. ..The Ewings stayed on in their new store until Albert G. Boone bought it in January, 1854. The Indian trade died that year and so did William Griffith Ewing, on July 11."
