William A. Short

The original owner's room, at the front of the house

This room is named for the man who built the house. It's on the second floor at the front, and its tall windows look out over Biscoe Street, so it gets the morning light. It has a king bed and a decorative fireplace with its original mantel.

William A. Short, a cotton merchant, built this house in 1904 with his wife, Sallie. He lost much of his fortune when the cotton market collapsed and sold the house in 1917. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
