In 2007, I traveled to Quinter, Kansas to visit Gale Ringer and learn more about his family’s “Ohio.” His grandfather, Mathias Ringer had purchased the Wardway kit home right after World War I, and amazingly, this house had stayed in the family through the generations. During my three-day stay with the Ringer family, we went driving around other parts of Kansas and that’s when we found the Aladdin Villa, sitting in the middle of a very large field.

As soon as possible, I sent a photo of the house to Dale Wolicki (who is THE expert on Aladdin Homes) and he could hardly believe that we’d stumbled upon one of Aladdin’s fanciest homes in such a quiet, rural area.

Driving around the Quinter area with the Ringer family in 2007, I discovered this perfect Aladdin Villa sitting in the middle of a massive Kansas cornfield. The Villa was probably Aladdin's biggest and best house.
