inquiringmind Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 What happened to Nauvoo House?And now I say unto you, as pertaining to my boarding house which I have commanded you to build for the boarding of strangers, let it be built unto my name, and let my name be named upon it, and let my servant Joseph and his house have place therein, from generation to generation. For this anointing have I put upon his head, that his blessing shall also be put upon the head of his posterity after him. (D&C 124:56-57.)Did David Hyram Smith and Joseph Smith III inherit this property?
PacMan Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Your whole question is misplaced. As soon as Xander respondes to my post in the BoA thread, I'll explain.

inquiringmind Posted May 8, 2012 Author Posted May 8, 2012 Doesn't anyone know what anointing and blessing D&C 124:27 is talking about?What was passed from Joseph to his posterity?Was it the property rights to the Nauvoo House?Did David or Joseph III ever posses these property rights?Do any of Joseph's present descendants? Doesn't anyone know the history of this property?

Emma & Lewis Bidamon used Emma's dower's interest in the foreclosure sales of Joseph Smith's Nauvoo properties to purchase back the Mansion House and other properties at the final forclosure sale. The Nauvoo House was one of those properties for which Emma retained title and "in 1847 Bidamon dismantled a large portion of the walls down to the stonework of the basement story, and built a modest two-story structure (the Riverside Mansion) with the bricks on the southwest corner of the original foundation. The structure was used as a residence for the family."Flanders "Kingdom on the Mississippi" pg 190Edit to add.It also appears in 1846 " that she (Emma) sold the lot for five thousand dollars to a speculator in real estate named Furness, from Quincy, who has since taken possession of one or two of the basement rooms in the building.

PacMan Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 "Mansion House and Nauvoo House were different buildings."Bingo.
Curtis Weber Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) The Mansion House, Nauvoo House and Riverside Mansion are 3 different buildings. The Mansion House was where Joseph Smith and his family lived for the last few years of his life; the Nauvoo House was under construction (though stalled) when Joseph Smith was killed; the Riverside Mansion was constructed on the Nauvoo House site using materials from the unfinished Nauvoo House by Emma Smith's second husband, Lewis Bidamon.
