The Poulton House, a five-bedroom, three-bathroom Victorian style home at 800 College in Canton, can be found at the Fretwell & Associates, Inc. Real Estate website. The Board of Trustees at Culver-Stockton College has made the decision to make this historic landmark available for purchase.
The home once housed the presidents of Culver-Stockton and, more recently, the dean of the college/vice president of academic affairs.
The home was built in 1895 for Alfred F. Poulton, a city attorney for Canton for two terms, the town’s mayor for three terms and the United States commissioner for the Eastern District of Missouri from 1874 to 1878. He aided in founding the Canton News, and he also was president of the Canton Ice Company.
The house was privately owned by the Poulton family until 1940 when Alfred F. Poulton’s son, Ellison Poulton, gave the house to his alma mater in return for an annuity. The house was used for the president of Culver-Stockton for the next 40 years until a newer building was constructed for that purpose in the mid-1980s.
Ellison Poulton, a 1919 graduate of Culver-Stockton, was a successful attorney in St. Louis before he had died in 1945. Poulton’s will disclosed that he left a bulk of his estate, including $200,000 and more than 800 acres of farm land, to the college. Because Poulton was a sports enthusiast, the football stadium was named after him in 1953.
The city of Canton recently received Certified Local Government status, allowing for possible future credits to be used to restore historic properties in Canton.

A student is considered a legacy when at least one of the student's parents, grandparents or siblings has attended Culver-Stockton College full-time for one semester or more.
We are so glad our current legacies made the decision to attend C-SC. They are carrying on the legacy of success from generation to generation.
We thought you might enjoy meeting one of our legacies.

For Lisa Bohan `14 MBA `18 it was always a goal of hers to pursue and complete her MBA, and she absolutely wanted to get it from C-SC. In the industry and role she is in, it’s crucial to continue learning and being creative in solving problems. In getting her MBA, it continued to help her work on strategic thinking, learning new concepts and time management as well.
She now is a Business Development Manager at Dot Foods, Inc. She works with supplier partners as their day-to-day contact, negotiating and maintaining their profitability and working alongside their supplier partners to grow their mutual business.
She says, “What I love about my current role is the true impact I am making for Dot Foods, our supplier partners and our downstream customers as well. It is really empowering to know that you do ultimately affect the bottom line. In my prior role as a Staff Accountant, I really enjoyed the people I worked with and what I did, but in that role, I wasn’t able to as crucially impact the bottom line results.”
She has so many fond memories and stories from her time on “the Hill”. Some of her favorite memories include getting +24” of snow on her birthday, sledding down the concourse with Abbie Foster `16 and Anton Kozelichki `14 until they couldn’t feel their fingers or toes, and perhaps her favorite memory was meeting the love of her life and husband, Dalton Bohan `11.
Lisa has taken her love for business and beauty to create “Beyond Beauty”, a cosmetics and makeup artistry business that she owns.
“I am so passionate about making my clients my #1 priority. Beyond Beauty is all about empowering women to be and feel as beautiful as they can from the inside out. Services include makeup application for weddings, engagements, family photos, dances, special events, etc. Beyond Beauty also carries a line of high quality cosmetics, skincare, and body care to meet all skin needs,” Bohan said.
