This comfortable house sits near property where the train station for the Southern and L&N Railway serving the Hotel Monte Sano once stood.  The Whatleys have recently completed major restoration and redecorating in both houses and the garden.

4119 Shelby Avenue - Margery and Terry Whatley House

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a railway workers house, built in 1888, still stands on the property today.  After the demise of the hotel and railway, Judge D. D. Shelby built a home here which burned in the early 1930s.  Colonel M.H. Patton built the present home later in the decade.
