Built in 1897 by the Shearman family, who operated the “Adams and Shearman” shop located at 60 South Alabama Street, which sold items such as mince meats, jellies and preserves. A later resident was Harry M. Gentry in the early 1900s. He was Treasurer & Secretary of the Aetna Trust & Savings Company. The house was converted into 2 units in 1915, and eventually converted back to a single family home within the past couple decades
