A stately Federal gem!


The historic Spencer-Shreve House, listed on the National Register in association with the historic Church Street District, was built c. 1825 (1825-1830) in the popular Federal style, with a wide front veranda exhibiting its original four neoclassical columns and above-the-door transoms. The Spencer-Shreve House still needs some renovation to be complete but features lovely, original cypress wide plank floors plus many decorative elements, moldings and mantels that were restored from the local Sillers House. The home also has modern conveniences such as an HVAC system, updated plumbing and a period style fence built to encircle the property.
