Florence, KS - info on former B&B or old Arnold School house? (Wichita: for sale)

[rkschaub]

We are thinking of moving to Florence, KS and have found a place that was an old school house and in 1996 was turned into a Bed and Breakfast. I cannot find any information on it with the exception that it is for sale.

Does anyone have any pictures, where I can find them or any info on this place?

Thanks!

Is this it?

Welcome to Clover Cliff Ranch Bed'n Breakfast!

This bed & breakfast is located in Elmdale, KS, about 20 miles or so away from Florence.

I love that area of KS! Elmdale is where Camp Wood is located, the land is beautiful there...

I don't have any current information for the OP, but I perhaps have a little history-

Back in 1995 or 1996 or so, I toured an old schoolhouse in Florence that was for sale that had just recently been restored/refurbished. I don't recall if it was an operating B&B at that time, but I think it was.

I suspect it's the same building that was mentioned by the OP (I would doubt Florence would have two such buildings, although it's possible). Doing a commute back and forth to Wichita (where I work) seemed too daunting to actually do, but the building was fascinating, and the resto seemed nicely done (at least based on a quick tour).

I haven't stayed current on what later happened with the building (e.g., whether it became or stayed a B&B, or if it became a personal residence), and old buildings (even if recently updated) can always bring lots of surprises, but if I was moving to Florence, I'd sure look into it.
