| Introduction |
| Step back in time into the warmth and charm of a Victorian home. The downstairs common area is an inviting place to sit and talk with your friends and other visitors, or just simply relaxing for a while. This area is a feast for the eyes and the heart, with beautiful antique furnishings and bric-a-brac reminiscent of a bygone era. You are only a few steps away from the porches which offer a birds eye view of the comings and goings of this quaint little town. The dining room offers comfortable seating around a large oak table, with charming teacup displays and seasonal vignettes to nourish the eyes as well as the body. |

The house was originally built as a single story structure by Clarence C. Dubose, editor of the Shelby Sentinel, in 1889. The house was then purchased by John S. and Ada Pitts in 1900. The Pitts family built the additions to the original structure, making it the fine example of Victorian architecture you see today. In 1924, D.S. Wingard purchased the house and divided the upstairs portion of the house into apartments, which were used by student teachers from the University of Montevallo. These student teachers were in Columbiana to do their student teaching at Columbiana Elementary School which was adjacent to the house, (just across Thompson street) which is the current site of the Shelby County Board of Education. Mr. Wingard sold the house to his daughter in 1934, at her death in 1978, she requested the family give the house to her grand-daughter and it remained in the family until Andrew and Diane Moore purchased it in 2002, after the house had fallen into serious disrepair over the years and was offered for sale. During the restoration process, the Moore’s have discovered so many people that started out their married life together in one of the apartments upstairs. This house is full of history and charm that has to be shared, it would be so sad to keep it to ourselves. We encourage anyone interested in restoration to visit, before you start your own project. We have survived, but some days it was questionable. |
