909 King Street

Queen Anne Style House

One of Old Shandon's most recognizable landmarks, this residence recently underwent a sensitive rehabilitation. Located atop a ridge that divides the neighborhood from west to east, this circa-1900 Queen Anne style house was the home of salesman William Lockwood Bennett for over 40 years. Unique to this property is the large parcel of undeveloped land to the south, which speaks to the spacious tracts once associated with some of the community's original houses. The property's current owners have spent several years meticulously rehabilitating their residence in an historically sympathetic fashion.
