 Longview Farm was simply amazing in both its scope and design. It was picturesque in its winding scenic country lanes – twenty five miles of glistening white rail fencing set against lush green pastures. Longview Farm: Biography of a Dream Come True documents all 61 original buildings that existed on the farm with both descriptions and pictures.

 Little did Robert A. Long, Victor Bell and Robert White envision what the Long Bell Lumber Company would become, when they formed their lumber business in 1875. The rapid growth of settlement throughout Kansas and Oklahoma and the opening of the Oklahoma Territory gave emphasis to Long Bells expansion. As railroads pushed tracks throughout the area, communities sprang up needing building supplies. Retail yards quickly followed with Long Bell in the forefront. 

Jim Tweetie has pulled together a comprehensive account of the Long-Bell Lumber Company from its beginning in 1887 until it was eventually sold to Internation Paper Company in 1956.
