Addison Gandy
The Addison Gandy House was built for John Britton Addison and his wife Martha Bowe Davis Addison around 1892. Local craftsmen Robert and John Carpenter constructed the residence out of pine and cypress timbers. Today, the facade is unchanged with its detailed Victorian gingerbread porch railing. It is a one-story "L" shaped cottage with a gabled roof and a front porch supported by plain square posts and decorative brackets. The structure has a single, ornate door with sidelights and transom. It stands on brick piers with a brick chimney.
On the interior, there is beautiful wood graining on the doors and mantles that was reportedly crafted by a German painter, "Mr. Patch." He signed his work with a self-portrait on one of the doors.
The house was constructed on property given by Martha Addison's parents, Nathaniel Hart and Sara Davis. Nathaniel Hart Davis was a prominent attorney and early civic leader in the young town of Montgomery. Over the past 100+ years, this home has served several generations of Nathaniel Hart Davis' descendants. Martha Gandy and her husband William Harley Gandy were the last family owners of the house.
