“A Woodworking Masterpiece” Wall Street Journal 11/2020 An Amazing Experience 🥂 | House in Shelbyville
4 Bedroom House in Shelbyville
Queen Anne Victorian property built in 1898 by Charles Davis, then the President of the Davis Table Co. at the height of fine furniture manufacturing in the late 1800's. Mr. Davis spared no cost in building this lavish property & personally hand-picked all of the mahogany in South America, shipped back to his factory in Shelbyville, where his master craftsmen refined for use throughout the home. Fine green onyx slabs adorn the parlor fireplace which Mr. Davis had imported from Russia in 1898. All of the original gas chandeliers & sconces are still present in the home (most converted to electric).
After a decade of restoration the property has now been fully restored to it's original beauty & kitchen updated to an executive level kitchen with modern amenities. The formal dining room still has the original 12' lion claw dining table, chairs, & built-in buffet which were all hand carved & are original to the home. All stain glass windows are original to the home & have somehow survived for 120 years nearly in mint condition. Hard wood floors throughout the home, 2 staircases (back staircase was used by the servant(s) along with a back living area of the home. The original (once plumbing was installed) sinks & claw foot tub has been fully restored & are once again in use today. As you can imagine owning the largest furniture factory of the time allowed Mr. Davis to leverage every available resource when constructing the home - & no amount of money was spared.
In the 1920’s the compound became home to Brigadier General DW Deprez & family & remained in the Deprez family for the next 60 years.
It lies in the heart of Shelbyville's nationally recognized historical district. The home has 3 floors - the 3rd being an open 'attic' that could easily be utilized as additional living space. The front wrap around porch is a whopping 20' x 40' & unheard of for its time. There is also a side reading porch & 2 additional patios for entertaining. The property has private gated parking & the original carriage house is still utilized today. This is only a small highlight of the detail within the home & every visitor we've ever had is amazed by how much the pictures don't do the property justice.
