Shelton Smith house

Before the civil war 

Slaves were people owned

Behind the green rooted two dormer house

You will find the slaves home.

      Everyday I look forward on going on an adventure, but I will look forward to this one the most of all because John E. Shelton was a master craft smith and I love to build things. I put in the date 1855 into my time machine. My mechanical horse started to gallop so fast I thought I was going to barf. When I finally opened my eyes I found myself in front of a brand new beautiful home.

     John E. Shelton was a master craft smith, and slave owner. He had built many houses prior to the one he built for himself. His house was a two dormer house on a bunch of land. The house was surrounded with trees bushes and grass. 

  

     He built a portion of his house for his friend. He was a leading manufacturer in cigars. Behind his house is the slave quarters.

     

     In the year 2000 it was purchased and restored. Now it looks just like how it was when it was originally built. 

     

     The street address is 811 caroline street.
